The root ball is the entire system of the roots of a plant, which provides nutrients from the soil for each plant. Although numerous plants have a dense and cohesive root system, the term root ball is used for potted and indoor plants. When they reach the limits of the plan, they grow back into the interior of the vessel and continue to develop in an arc, which leads to the distinctive bale shape of the root system. This behavior is good for repotting a houseplant, as the round basic shape minimizes the risk of destroying part of the root system. for example, when inserting a sprout into a larger vessel, ensure that it provides sufficient space for the growing root ball for months or even years. The special breeding of shrubs and trees in a tree nursery also produces a root ball, which is deliberately kept in this form. This simplifies the subsequent transport after the sale of a tree, after the final planting root system can develop freely again.
