Which root means network of nerves?

• A. Plasia
• B. Pod(o)
• C. Poiesis
• D. Plex(o)

Answer: (D)

A network of nerves is described by the term plexus, which comes from the root plex/o, meaning a braid or interwoven pattern. In anatomy, nerve networks like the brachial or cervical plexus are braided webs of intersecting nerves, so plex/o is the root that conveys that idea. The other roots refer to different concepts: plasia means formation or development, pod(o) means foot, and poiesis means making or production. So plex/o best fits “network of nerves.”
