'''Roots''',also referred to as '''Tentacles''',<ref>'''Halo Wars 2''' campaign level, [[Light the Fuse]]</ref> 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. Flood roots were encountered during a [[Battle of the Etran Harborage|battle]] on a [[Etran Harborage|Flood-controlled]] [[Shield World]] in [[2531#February|February 2531]], and during the [[Banished]] [[Second Ark Conflict#Awakening a nightmare|occupation]] of [[Installation 00]] in [[2559]].

Roots can be found as defensive structures similar to [[Base turret]]s, protecting [[Flood colony|colonies]]. They attack by whipping enemies. Despite being similar to buildings and not moving, they are technically units as they have a Y ability which converts units to flood spores.
