describe tap root system,fibrous root system,adventitious root system briefly with example
Answers
Answer:
Tap root - Found in Dicots.Roots which are formed from Radicle in the seed. Example :- Mustard
Adventitious roots - Roots which are formed from parts other than Radicle. Example :- Grasses
Fibrous Root - Found in monocots. This is the replaced form of tap root. The primary root is short lived and is replaced by many fiber like roots. Example :- wheat
Explanation:
A taproot is a large, central, and dominant root from which other roots sprout laterally. Typically a taproot is somewhat straight and very thick, is tapering in shape, and grows directly downward.[1] In some plants, such as the carrot, the taproot is a storage organ so well developed that it has been cultivated as a vegetable.
The taproot system contrasts with the adventitious or fibrous root system of plants with many branched roots, but many plants that grow a taproot during germination go on to develop branching root structures, although some that rely on the main root for storage may retain the dominant taproot for centuries, for example Welwitschia.
