Is there any reason people use round pots?

Is there a scientific reason that says they're better than square pots? Grow tents are square and I was thinking, I could probably grow more roots in a square pot than a round one, I can fit more in my space too

I don’t think it matters space wise really tbh. It’s the canopy that will define the space for each plant. Bigger roots though def help, what’s the difference in volume of the containers? Is it significant enough to matter ? Idk but I don’t think so edited. Maybe in the case if like a sog it WOULD matter more since you’re growing those one stalk clones though.

You can fit more in your space only if the canopy never gets wider than the pot. Square pots make sense for seedlings and the like but it's completely irrelevant once that plant grows.

Volume is volume, the pot shape is entirely irrelevant
