Question

Explain the type of roots found in flowering plants with an example

Answer 1

Answer:

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. Fibrous root systems are found in monocots; tap root systems are found in dicots.

Answer 2

Answer:

1.) taproot, with a main taproot that is larger and grows faster than the branch roots. Plants with taproots are for example dandelion, parsley, turnip and carrots.

2.) fibrous, with all roots about the same size. Grasses such as wheat, rice, and corn are examples of fibrous root systems.

3.) adventitious, roots that form on any plant part other than the roots. Some examples of adventitious plants are: Ivy, Horsetails, Oak trees and Cypress.
