Root-pockets - These are basically root caps but have lost there utility due to non use .

This is because the roots of the plants that hang freely in water have no friction or resistance from the soil particles to overcome .

So root pockets are vestigeal ( Non functional ) root caps .

Once removed ; there are not regenerated .

Found only in floating aquatic plants like Pistia ; Water hyacinth and trapa .
