Transverse Cutting of the Root
Product Code : SCL-BLE-11723
Transverse Cutting of the Root (SKU SCL-BLE-11723) is a three-dimensional root tip model that shows both the inner anatomy, including the vasculature, on its cross-section and the outer anatomy, such as root hairs, on the outside. Made of PVC with non-toxic dyes, it measures 300 x 400 mm and stands on a sturdy ABS base fitted with a metal rod. It suits plant anatomy and water uptake lessons from Class 9 to B.Sc. botany, with quotations from Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India.
Specifications
Rows in the table cover each part of the root tip model. In short, it is a 300 x 400 mm model in PVC with non-toxic dyes, detailed inside on the cross-section and outside along the root tip, and held on a sturdy ABS plastic base by a metal rod for display.

Applications and Experiments for the Root Tip Model
The model is used to explain how a root takes in water and minerals and moves them inward. Students follow the path from the root hairs on the outside, across the cortex, to the central vascular tissue revealed on the cross-section, and see why the root hair zone matters for absorption.
- NCERT Class 9 Science, Tissues: plant tissues and the conducting role of xylem and phloem.
- NCERT Class 11 Biology, Anatomy of Flowering Plants: internal structure of the root.
- B.Sc. botany: root anatomy, root hair zone and the vascular cylinder.
- Showing water uptake in action with the Root Pressure Demonstration Kit and the Kit for the Demonstration of Absorption of Mineral Salts in Plants.
Standard Scope of Supply
One root tip model is supplied, 300 x 400 mm, in PVC with non-toxic dyes, complete with its sturdy ABS base and metal support rod. Stem and leaf models, root slides and charts are separate products, and any of them can be added to the same quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
The root model can be quoted for a single biology room or in multiples for a school chain or college department. Science Lab Supplies confirms the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity on its quotation, and the matching stem and leaf models can be priced with it.
Because it holds an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Peru, Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana. Ask for the root model's price through the contact page, keep it in the enquiry cart while choosing other botany items, or see the lab tender page for tender purchases.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the root model show?
It shows the inner anatomy and vasculature of a root tip on its cross-section, and the outer anatomy, including root hairs, along the outside of the tip, so internal and external structure can be taught together.
How is the model mounted?
It comes with a sturdy ABS plastic base fitted with a metal rod that holds the 300 x 400 mm root tip model for display and close study on a laboratory table.
Who supplies the Transverse Cutting of the Root model?
Biology laboratories order this root model from Science Lab Supplies, which quotes and ships from Ambala, India to schools, colleges and dealers and can pack the matching stem and leaf models alongside it.
Does it match the stem and leaf section models?
Yes. The Cross Section of the Stem and Transverse Section of the Leaf models are also 300 x 400 mm PVC models with non-toxic dyes, so root, stem and leaf can be displayed as a matching series.
