Roots are the vital and underground part of a plant, collectively called the root system. They are the major part that anchors the plant firmly to the soil. They absorb water and minerals from the soil, synthesize plant growth regulators, and store reserve food material. The apical part of the root is covered by the root cap which protects the root apex.

The soil needs to be well-drained, fertile, and rich in organic material for the growing plant. Loosen the topsoil without disturbing the plant's roots before the application of fertilizer, it can more easily increase the nutrients and moisture.

Dieffenbachia belongs to the family Araceae. Dieffenbachia is a herbaceous plant with a straight stem, simple and alternate leaves with white spots, and flakes that make it attractive as indoor foliage. Dieffenbachia is a broad-leaved plant with thick succulent stems.
