Question

how do we differentiate between fibrous root system and tap-root system? ​

Answer 1

Tap root :- It has a main root with lateral roots growing on the primary root.

Fibrous root :- It has no main root, all roots grow like fibres.

Answer 2

Answer:

Tap root:Tap root has only one main and long root. The smaller roots that grow from the main root are called lateral roots .

*Tap root grows vertically deep into the soil

Fibrous roots: they do not have a main root. All roots are similar.

* Fibrous roots are short and most of them grow horizontally in the soil
