Does toadstools have roots?

The answer is no they do not have roots.\n Toadstools and mushrooms are all fungi and fungi do not have roots but root like organs called rhizoids or rhizoidal hyphae ( root like branches ) to absorb the nourishment. \n In both the cases mentioned above what you see above the ground is only the fruiting body of the fungus. Rest of the fungus lies below the soil surface.

Depends on how much salt. Without salt, there is probably some seeds somewhere in the soil that will sprout, but too much salt will render the soil infertile and nothing will happen.

Plant growth responses are called tropisms.\nRoots are positively geotropic - grow in the direction of a gravitational pull.\nRoots are positively hydrotropic - grow towards water.\nSo both of these tropisms stimulate roots to grow down into soil.\nIn the absence of any strong stimuli roots will grow straight in whatever direction growth began.\nHave a look here:

Bamboo roots spread out far from the plant near the top of the soil, and shoots from the roots become trees. Bamboo grows tall very fast and spreads aggressively. Of course, bamboo is hollow.

Taking a guess here but I  would think in a way.. some plants have growth underground like carrots, potatoes, onions, etc. The underground roots stay underground lol, they absorb fluids, aka water and grow from underneath then the stems are actually what blossoms out of the dirt. It is the result of the outgrowth the root has made. I have no idea what I'm saying here :P

No. In fact not every one of them. The cells which make up the roots of the plants do not because they are not designed for the process of photosynthesis.

Only if your grandfather name was Jack, he planted magic beans, and existed in a storybook. It is not true. Your grandfather made it up for you to enjoy. Only book that was like that excluding the part of what your grandfather did in the woods, is called Jack and the Beanstalk.

depending on the size of the toads, I suppose it might be possible, but I'm not sure why you'd want to.\n\nIf you do, you may want to swallow them head first.  Many toads will inhale air to puff themselves up like a puffer fish if they are being swallowed.  This works fairly well on snakes, who don't have an easy means of puncturing the toad to deflate it.  Herons tend to spear them with their bill first, so they don't have much chance to inflate.\n\nYou should also be aware that many toads produce toxins in their skin and their parotid glands.  In the case of cane toads (Bufo marinus) this toxin is powerful enough to kill predators like cats, dogs and quoll (an Australian predator sometimes called a marsupial cat or native cat).  Even if it doesn't kill you, the toxins can make you violently ill, and in some cases cause hallucinations.\n\nBecause they tend to live in moist environments, toads can also be a carrier for all kinds of inimical bacteria.  Salmonella and other pathogens can live on their skin, and swallowing a toad could make you sick or kill you even if you aren't affected by the toxins.\n\nAlso, in many areas it is illegal to harm or kill wildlife.  Eating toads may be a violation of these statutes in your area.  So even if you aren't killed or made sick by the toxins and bacteria on the toad, you may be arrested just for eating one.\n\nAll in all, I'd recommend buying a hamburger instead.  Maybe you could try swallowing that all at once.

Eh, actually its not possible.\n\nCrabs:\n\nThey have gill chambers which store water, so they get their oxygen from the water after passing amphotheric air through it.\n\n\nFrogs:\n\nThese guys have gills when they're tadpoles, but it changes into gills when they are older.\n\n\nWater Beetles\n\nThey bring along air bubbles from the surface of the pond to build their nest (for the young)\n\nMudskippers:\n\nSomething like the crab\n\nWhales/sealions/penguins:\n\nThey hold their breath for as long as 30 minutes\n--\n\nTherefore, they either bring their source of air where ever they go, or they just hold their breath.

Maybe the tree of life is rooted to the 'nutrient soil?' What I mean is that organic compounds were thought to form before any cell. They provided the nutrients for these early cells, so my best guess is that they would be your roots.

the quest of the Golden Toadstool. Anyone knows anything about this story? I think my student may have copie? \nI gave an assignment and one student turned in a story about a gnome a golden toadstool and a dragon. The gnome keeps the toadstool in the forest. The dragon takes it away, destroying the forest. The gnome goes and finds the dragon, kills it and returns the toadstool to the forest and the toadstool being magical puts the forest back together. \nThere is no way this student wrote this picture story book.\nThanks for any help!

Nice close-up shot of them on this page. From what I have seen, they are not barbed, but spined, as defined at second link:\n\n"The seedheads are composed of spiny burs and are 3-14 cm long and 1-2 cm wide. The burs, excluding the spines, are 4.1-6.3 mm wide and 5.3-8.0 mm long to the tip of the spikelets. The spines are of two kinds: 1) flattened spines that are spread over the body of the bur and 2) fine slender bristle-like spines that are situated in a ring at the base of the bur. "\n\nHowever, many people on the web seem to "unscientifically" refer to them as barbed! Maybe it is that "bristle-like" spine that we are interpreting as barbed?

Toads and frogs are BOTH amphibians.  Frogs have more permeable skin so lose more water through their skin and need a wetter environment.  Toads have dryer, wartier skin and are generally darker in color. Frogs lay eggs in clusters on water, toads lay eggs in strings. Frogs jump farther and have longer legs, toads hop. Frogs have tiny teeth, toads do not have teeth.

There is a reason why plants only grow so high in nature.  They have to be able to still pump nutrients from the roots to the farthest limb.\n\nBesides, you would be providing a home for rats.

On top, hickory, walnut, oak.  Trees that do not like wet roots.  On the bottom, box elder, willow, poplar.  They like "wet feet".

I'm not sure if I understand the part about "tree is bad because goats scared of cars," maybe its lost in translation.  \n\nDon't worry about roots unless you have terra cotta sewer pipe.  If you have PVC (plastic) sewer pipe, the tree won't invade it because they are sealed.\n\nIf you don't know, just find the clean out and dig down to the pipe in your yard.  Really, though if your plumbing isn't clogged, you don't have a root problem.
