A root is an organ of a plant that typically lies below the surface of the soil, although it can also be aerial (growing above ground). They often can be used as a food or for medicinal purposes.
During the disaster at Arvada III, Felisa Howard learned how to use roots to treat the sick at the colony, despite not being a physician. She would also teach her granddaughter, the future Beverly Crusher, this knowledge. The knowledge benefited Beverly when she became injured on the planet Minos, where she instructed Jean-Luc Picard on how to use roots to treat her injuries. (TNG: "The Arsenal of Freedom")
