Did King Arthur really exist? Detailed answer
Directory / Big encyclopedia. Questions for quiz and self-education Did you know? Did King Arthur really exist? Many of you must have read the stories of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. These stories are considered fictional. However, legends are often based on real facts. Is it so in this case? No one can tell if King Arthur ever really existed or not. Most historians believe that the legends about King Arthur are associated with the personality of the great leader of one of the tribes that lived in Britain at the turn of the 400th-XNUMXth centuries. Since the Romans ruled England for nearly XNUMX years, King Arthur could well have mixed Roman and British blood in his veins. Perhaps he stood at the head of a large army against the Saxon invaders. Arthur was remembered and honored in both Wales and England. Stories about him passed from generation to generation, and each of them embellished these stories in their own way. Eventually Arthur became one of the greatest heroes who ever lived on Earth. He killed terrible monsters, mastered the secrets of magic and became a great and kind king. No one knows exactly where Arthur's castle was located. Six places in England are indicated where the king could erect it. The first author to mention Arthur was a Welsh historian who lived in the 400th century. For the next XNUMX years, not a single line was written about the king. But in the XNUMXth century, stories about King Arthur began to circulate widely. The earliest of them are written in Latin. However, soon the poets began to sing of his deeds in both English and French. In the XNUMXth century, Sir Thomas Malory compiled many of the oral histories of King Arthur in a book entitled Le Morte d'Arthur. Author: Likum A.
Why do plants have roots? A plant needs roots for two main reasons. Firstly, it is a support in the soil, and secondly, it is the absorption of water and mineral salts from the soil. The roots of most plants grow in the soil. They don't just "sit" there, they help the plant grow. Stretching, branching, the roots fit snugly to the soil particles and absorb minerals from the soil. Thousands of tiny hairs growing on a young root absorb substances from the soil. Therefore, when a young plant is pulled out of the soil, soil particles often linger on the root hairs. Some plants have tap roots. A tap root is one large root that is much larger than other, branching roots. Other plants do not have one large root, but several roots of approximately the same size. Such roots form a tufted root system. Herbs have such a system. Soil in which many adventitious roots are thus protected from erosion by them. In other plants, most of the roots grow from the stem, such as geraniums. As they grow, the roots thicken and accumulate large amounts of sugar and starch. Beets and sweet potatoes are examples of this. The sweet potato is the root, but the eyed Irish potato is the stem. Not all plants have roots in the soil. Some tropical tree orchids have hanging roots that grow in the air and absorb moisture. English ivy and poison ivy attach to walls or trees with aerial roots. Some plants have special roots that develop underground and grow into the soil, forming props. A few roots, like the sweet potato, form buds that grow into leafy branches and are used to propagate the plant.
