Plant pores are stoma, plural stomata. Dictionary says that they are found on plant leaves (more thickly on the undersides) and on plant stems. Roots are not mentioned. Does not say that roots do not have them, the issue simply was not addressed. It says that the function is for the exchange of gasses.
