FUSIFORM ROOT:
1. It is spindle shaped in outline.
2. Apical region of the root shows gradual tapering.
3. Half or less than half of the fleshy root is formed of hypocotyl.
4. Tap root forms a part of fleshy root.
5. Fine thread-like secondary roots do not occur in the basal swollen part but are found on the remaining half.
Difference # Napiform Roots:
1. Napiform root is nearly globular or spherical in outline.
2. The root suddenly tapers towards the apex.
3. In Turnip most of the fleshy part is made up of hypocotyl. In Beet, more than half of fleshy part is formed of hypocotyl.
4. Tap root forms the apical non-fleshy part of the root in Turnip and part of fleshy root in Beet.
5. Fine thread-like secondary roots are found in the narrow apical part and nearby area.
CONICAL ROOTS:
Conical root: this type of root tuber is conical in shape, i.e. widest at the top and tapering steadily towards the bottom: e.g. carrot.
The two types of root systems in plants. The fibrous root system (A) is characterized by many roots with similar sizes. In contrast, plants that use the taproot system (B) grow a main root with smaller roots branching off of the taproot. The letters mark the beginning of the roots.

fusiform, conical & napiform root
Explanation:
- Fusiform, napiform, conical-shaped roots are the adjustments of taproots. In a plant with a taproot system, the taproot is the focal and predominant root. Commonly, a taproot is straight and thick. It is decreasing fit as a fiddle and becomes straightforwardly descending.
- The fusiform root is most stretched out in the center and decreases towards the top and the base. Napiform sort of capacity root has a top-like appearance. It is expansive at the top and decreases out of nowhere like a tail at the base.
- Cone-shaped sort of root tuber is cone like fit as a fiddle, which means most stretched out at the top and decreasing consistently towards the base.
