A root is the bottom part of a tooth, hair, fingernail, or toenail. It is the part that attaches each of these things to your body. A tooth, for example, is attached to your mouth by its root. The root is attached to one of the bones in your jaw. Each tooth, hair, or nail has a root, but you can't see the root because it is under the surface. [1/6 definitions] |
