The '''Flood Root''' is a ''[[Halo Wars]]'' [[Flood]] static unit.
'''Roots''' are biological "structures" used by the [[Flood]] for defending their [[Flood hive|hives]]. They attack by whipping threats to the hive with great force, easily killing infantry and heavily damaging vehicles. They are also capable of grabbing lifeforms and converting them into Flood biomass. The only known use of Flood roots was during a [[Battle of the Flood-controlled Shield World|battle]] on a [[Shield World (Halo Wars)|Flood-controlled]] [[Shield World]] in [[2531#February|February 2531]].  
 
==Description==
The Flood Root resembles a large tentacle capable of "whipping" units that get close to it.<ref>http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/strategy/halowars/video/6204958/halo-wars-video-review?hd=1</ref> It is perhaps the equivalent to a defensive [[Turret]], although it is unable to attack air units and it's effective range seems quite short. When attacking, it will swipe and slam enemy infantry. In some cases it will grab a unit and lift it into the air, causing the unit to dissolve into the same matter that a [[Flood Spores | Flood spore cloud]] is made of.
