[0003] Existing stratified sampling devices often fail to accurately collect soil and root samples with intact surfaces. Chinese patent CN205785901U discloses a root soil sampler, including a sampling tube, a support assembly, and a handheld crossbar. The support assembly is connected to the sampling tube, and the handheld crossbar is parallel to the support assembly. The sampling tube has at least one tooth. While this sampler improves efficiency, it does not accurately cut the lower surface of the soil and root samples after sampling, resulting in uneven lower surfaces. Chinese patent CN202974700U discloses a plant root sampler, including a sampling assembly and a handle assembly. The sampling assembly includes a sampling tube with one closed end and an observation window on its wall. The handle assembly includes a handheld crossbar and a connecting rod, with the crossbar connected to the closed end of the sampling tube via the connecting rod. Although this device includes an observation window for observing the root soil, it lacks a component for cutting the lower surface.
