Uses of Yucca Plant

Content: The Tap Root penetrate deep into the soil in the search of groundwater and nutrients. These roots are fleshy and are popular as a source of food in some parts of America. These Tap roots contain Saponin compounds that are used as soap and as a foaming agent in the formation of root beers. Rhizomatic Root System
The rhizomes are the modified stem of the Yucca plant that arises from the base of the parent plant and then spread horizontally in all directions. These stems of Rhizomes give rise to more stems and roots. The roots although appear like the main roots but are rhizomatic in nature and support these stems. The rhizomatic stems lead to the formation of a new plant having flowers and leaves. This results in the thicking of the Yucca plant which otherwise may appear to be skinny. Not all species of Yucca plant produces Rhizomes. The formation of firm roots and stems of Rhizomes makes it difficult to uproot a Yucca plant.
