Taproot vs. Fibrous Root System
There are two main types of roots according to origin of development and branching pattern in the angiosperms: taproot systemand fibrous system.
Generally, plants with a taproot system are deep-rooted in comparison with those having fibrous type. The taproot system enables the plant to anchor better to the soil and obtain water from deeper sources. In contrast, shallow-rooted plants are more susceptible to drought but they are quick to absorb surface and irrigation water and thus have the ability to respond quickly to fertilizer application.
