Question

Give any two examples of plants that show similar type of root system as the gulmohar tree.

Answer 1

Answer:

Some plants with taproots:

Beetroot.

Burdock.

Carrot.

Sugar beet.

Dandelion.

Parsley.

Parsnip.

Poppy mallow

Explanation:

Being a Dicotyledonous plant , the tree has a tap root system to begin with.

Later on , as is the case in almost all trees , the main tap root dies away and it is replaced by many adventitious roots developing from the base of the tree ( Adventitious means additional or extra ) .

Thus , Gulmoar trees ( Delonix regia OR Caesalpinia sps. ) have adventitious root system.

The fibrous root system ( Literally meaning fiber like ) is found in Monocotyledonous plants and that too mostly in grasses !
