This polysaccharide secretion of root exudate forms a gelatinous substance that sticks to the caps of roots. Root mucilage is known to play a role in forming relationships with soil dwelling life forms. Just how this root mucilage is secreted is debated but there is growing evidence that mucilage derives from ruptured cells. As roots penetrate through the soil, many of the cells surrounding the caps of roots are continually shed, and replaced. These ruptured or lysed cells release their component parts, which includes the polysaccharides that form root mucilage. These polysaccharides that come from the Golgi apparatus and plant cell wall, which are rich in plant specific polysaccharides. Unlike animal cells, plant cells have a cell wall that acts as a barrier surrounding the cell providing strength, which supports plants just like a skeleton. This cell wall is used to produce every day products such as: timber, paper and natural fabrics including cotton. Root mucilage is apart of a wider secrete from plant roots known as root exudate. Plant roots secrete a variety of organic molecules into the surrounding soil such as: proteins, enzymes, DNA, sugars and amino acids, which are the building blocks of life. This collective secretion is known as root exudate. This root exudate prevents root infection from bacteria and fungi, helps the roots to penetrate through the soil, and can creates a micro-climate that is beneficial to the plant"@en }
