Which outcome results when a riverbank's root systems vanish?

💡 Explanation

Increased stream bank erosion happens because of decreased **bioturbation** and root cohesion; the riverbank's soil structure becomes more susceptible to hydraulic forces, therefore, erosion accelerates rather than being stabilized which instead requires the soil protection from flowing liquid.
