Ipomoea
root slide is circular and green. The edge of the root is darker
than the inside of the root. Inside of the root looks like a web. At
the middle of the root are white circular holes formed by fibers.
Inside the holes seems to be empty. There is an small object,
which seems similar to the root, but smaller on the left bottom
corner of the image.
