The roots are organs of a plant that helps in holding the plant to the ground by holding it steady and anchored. There are different types of root systems, which are different for different varieties of plants.
There are 3 main root systems - Taproots, Fibrous, roots, and adventitious roots.
The taproots are characteristic of the Dicot plants. The taproot system consists of a primary root, from which tiny roots grow out laterally. The dicotyledonous seed grows a radicle, which develops into the root.
The fibrous root system has shallower roots than the taproots. They are mostly found in grasses, eudicots, and gymnosperms.
The adventitious root system has roots growing from any other part of the boy rather than the main roots. They can grow from the nodes of the stem, or less commonly from the leaves also. The monocots have the adventitious root system.
Also, there are storage roots, that store food materials like the tubers, etc.
