Exegesis
A second kai {καὶ | kaí} ‘and’ coordinates with the causal preposition dia {διὰ | diá} ‘because of’, which governs the articular infinitive phrase tó mḗ échein rhízan {τὸ μὴ ἔχειν ῥίζαν | tó mḗ échein rhí-zan} ‘the not to have root’, expressing the reason for the scorching.
In context — Mark 4:6
And when the sun rose, it was scorched, and since it lacked a root , it withered.
