Family tree -- those keeping it upright? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roots

This clue is a double definition.

'family' is the first definition.
(back to my roots)

'tree those keeping it upright?' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for roots that I've seen before include "Radicals" , "background" , "Underground parts of a plant" , "Cultural origins" , "a Wesker play" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
