Yes, aloe plants have roots.
Aloe plants need roots to survive. The roots help the plant stay in place and absorb water. According to one source, "The roots of your aloe should take up about half the pot, by volume to keep a cozy environment for the roots." A healthy root system is crucial for the overall health of the plant. Furthermore, proper drainage is essential to root health as "pooling water will be the death of your aloe".
Here's why healthy roots matter for aloe plants:
- Anchorage: Roots keep the plant stable in the soil.
- Water Absorption: Roots absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
- Overall Health: A healthy root system contributes to a healthy plant.
