Question

Differentiate between tap and fibrous roots.
I need the answer ASAP

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

taproot is when there is one main root that grows straight down deep into the soil. It only has very few lateral roots that develop and grow off this main root.

fibrous root is a root that consists of groups of roots of similar size and length. They do not penetrate as deeply into the soil as does a taproot.
