Lateral Roots... Why?

[nurglespuss]

Hi there, I was worried, despite CO2 input that my plants were just not growing, but, they are still there, I've removed any dead leaves over time, and they have gotten much bigger (it was so gradual I hadnt noticed). I have noticed though however, that some of my plants have sprouted quite a few lateral roots at their main leaf points... is this a cry for food (I've dosed up with plant fert just in case) or stability? (The tank isn vigorously moving) or an attempt to attach to local decor?

Any advice much appreciated.

You'll have to tell people what plants you have.

Its perfectly normal. They do this until they can detect they are rooted and secure.

It has red-vermillion undersides to the long leaves, rosetes of leaves at regular intervals up the stalk and is dark green on top.
