Question

Lateral Roots are present in a tap Root show the answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

The primary root in the tap root system develops from the radicle of the cotyledon. The lateral roots grow from the primary root providing support to the plant. the root cap at the tip of the root provides protection to the growing root and the root hairs help in the absorption of water and minerals from the soil. The tap roots growing deep down into the soil not only provide stability to the plant but also by holding the soil together prevents its erosion. In certain plants the taps roots also play he critical role of storing the food (carrots, beetroot etc.). Since the roots can grow deep into the soil the plants with tap root system will have better sustenance under drought conditions.
