Difference Between Tap RooT and Fibrous (Adventitious) RoOT

The main root (primary root) with other minor side roots, which grow deep into the soil is called Taproot. While the fine, thick hairs like structure, that spread sideways in all the directions is called Fibrous or Adventitious root. Taproot arises from the radicle (embryonic part) of the plants, but the Fibrous root grows from the stem and leaves rather from the radicle.

Plants bear parts like stem, leaves, fruits, flowers and most importantly roots. Roots are the underground part, which helps in absorbing nutrients, water, and moisture from the soil. Most flowering plants, shrubs, and trees produce tap roots which can travel deep into the soil, while fibrous or adventitious roots are seen in grasses and reed (tall grasses) plants and grow near to the surface of the soil.
