Answer:
What is the difference between a taproot and fibrous root?
The taproot is the differentiated primary root that is thick and grows straight down deep into the soil. Fibrous roots form a network of roots near the surface of the soil where they absorb minerals and water. They also hold several soil particles together and thus help to prevent or reduce soil erosion.
What is the major function of the mangrove root system?
Mangrove roots collect the silt and sediment that tides carry in and rivers carry out towards the sea. By holding the soil in place, the trees stabilize shorelines against erosion. Seedlings that take root on sandbars help stabilize the sandbars over time and may eventually create small islands.
