2. Name two major types tap and fibrous root.
3. Write any four functions of a root.
4. Give two examples of taproot and fibrous root.
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

1......A plant is made up of two basic parts, the shoot and root systems. Within each system you will find more complex anatomy. On the shoot system, the stem, leaves, flowers, and fruit can be seen.

2......A tap root system has a single main root that grows down. A fibrous root system forms a dense network of roots that is closer to the soil surface. An example of a tap root system is a carrot. Grasses such as wheat, rice, and corn are examples of fibrous root systems.

3.........A root's four major functions are 1)absorption of water and inorganic nutrients, 2) anchoring of the plant body to the ground, and supporting it, 3) storage of food and nutrients, 4) vegetative reproduction and competition with other plants.

4......Examples of plants with a taproot system include conifers, carrots, dandelions, poison ivy, annual flowers, radishes and beetroot. On the other hand examples of plants with a fibrous root include onions, tomatoes, lettuce grasses, lilies, palms, corn, beans, peas, sweat potatoes, rice and wheat
