Pines, Conifers, Evergreens
Pine, spruce, fir, hemlock, cypress, cedar, larch--not all these trees are evergreens, although all have needle-like leaves and produce cones, so they are conifers.

Types of Root Systems
As a seed germinates and the plant grows, the type of root system that develops reflects the evolutionary adaptations of that species.
