### Description

Provides additional armor but only while in defensive position. Does not stack with itself.

### Special

Adds additional armor to the flower and decreases movement speed.

The **Root** is a petal in florr.io. When equipped, it gives your flower extra armor, which deducts all damage taken by the amount of armor you have. Example: If you have 100 armor, a mob that does 110 damage will do 10 damage instead. If the armor is greater than the damage you recieve, you don't take any damage, similar to the Bone petal.

## Appearance

It is brown like the stick, with the shape of a simple mountain which has bumps.

## Function

If applicable, include: *Note: The "A + B" respawn format means that the petal takes A seconds to respawn and B seconds after respawning to do its special action/have its special action enabled.*

Petal Stats
 **Super** | 1822.5

The root adds additional armor to the flower like a leafbug, meaning that the flower when colliding with a mob will get a decreased amount of damage to the flower's health. (For example, when a flower collides with a mob with 10 body damage and the flower has an unusual root (7.5 armor), the flower instead of receiving -10 health will get 2.5 health decreased instead.) The armor is only applied while the flower is in defensive mode, and it doesn't stack.

## Obtaining

*Things marked in an "X" cannot be dropped. Things marked with a "?" are unknown values.*

### Purchasing

On certain days, the petal can be purchased in the Shop.

*Note: the price depends on how much money is spent. This table shows the prices assuming the lowest and highest amounts of money that can be spent. Also, the stars awarded per ad change depending on the player's highest rarity petal. The table shows the lowest per ad (1) and the highest per ad (3). For more information, go to this page: Stars*

## Strategy

### For obtaining

For beginners with only legendary petals, grind leafbugs in Ellne Jungle 4 to get epic and legendary roots. For late-game pros, grind mythic leafbugs at Ellne Jungle 5 for legendary and mythic roots.

### For using

This petal becomes extremely powerful when using in sync with the petals Disc and Relic (with a few other players equipped this petal, rarity doesn't matter). If they are used together, it can make your flower virtually immortal against all enemy attacks up to legendary, and mythic attacks deal relatively low damage that you can survive much more easier, with a legendary+ root, relic, and epic+ disc. Using both together essentially allows you to afk grind legendary or mythics, as long as someone else in the server has this petal equipped. Just remember to grab passive healing petals in this strategy.

#### Desert

* Since most mobs in the desert deal high damage, it does not have many good uses.

#### Ant

* Full Root builds are now almost completely useless since root now does not stack. However, before this update, roots are often used to achieve invincibility, especially in Ant Hells 2 and 3.

#### PvP

##### Against

* Strategy for fighting another player who has this petal in PvP.

## Trivia

* After the update in January 12, 2024, this petal doesn't have the stats of its durability and damage, meaning that this petal is unbreakable.
* In real life, roots create a firm foundation for the plant. This is probably why the petal reinforces them.
