Uses of Yucca Plant

Content: Other than these two types, Yucca plant also produces Rhizomes that sends out roots from their stems and helps in the water absorption. Fibrous Root System
The fibrous roots of Yucca spread horizontally near the surface, they’re shallow and are responsible for water absorption near the soil surface. These fibrous roots are excellent in absorbing the fresh rain water from the moist soils making the area around the Yucca plant dry. Therefore, any plant grown near Yucca can not survive long due to unavailability of water. Tap Root System
The Yucca plants have a distinguishable fleshy Tap Root System like carrot, radish et Cetra. 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.
