tooth root
A tooth root is the part of the tooth that is embedded in the jawbone. It makes up approximately two-thirds of the tooth and serves to anchor the tooth in place. It is typically not visible as it is below the gum line, and it is covered by a hard tissue called cementum. The tooth root also contains the root canals, which house the tooth's nerve and blood supply.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
Tooth Root
The part of a tooth from the neck to the apex, embedded in the alveolar process and covered with cementum. A root may be single or divided into several branches, usually identified by their relative position, e.g., lingual root or buccal root. Single-rooted teeth include mandibular first and second premolars and the maxillary second premolar teeth. The maxillary first premolar has two roots in most cases. Maxillary molars have three roots. (Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p690)
