The word(s) "roots" appears 5 time(s) in 5 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Habib Shakir translation.

(1) So the roots of the people who were unjust were cut off; and all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

(2) And in the earth there are tracts side by side and gardens of grapes and corn and palm trees having one root and (others) having distinct roots-- they are watered with one water, and We make some of them excel others in fruit; most surely there are signs in this for a people who understand.

(3) And We revealed to him this decree, that the roots of these shall be cut off in the morning.

(4) And they ask you about the mountains. Say: My Lord will carry them away from the roots.

(5) Whatever palm-tree you cut down or leave standing upon its roots, It is by Allah's command, and that He may abase the transgressors.
