Abstract: We classify isomorphic classes of the homomorphisms of a root system $Xi$ to a root system $Sigma$ which do not change Cartan integers. We examine several types of isomorphic classes defined by the Weyl group of $Sigma$, that of $Xi$ and the automorphisms of $Sigma$ or $Xi$ etc. We also distinguish the subsystem generated by a subset of a fundamental system. We introduce the concept of the dual pair for root systems which helps to study the action of the outer automorphism of $Xi$ on the homomorphisms.
