Question

Name the two types of root system found in plant . ​

Answer 1

Answer:

There are two main types of root systems. Dicots have a tap root system, while monocots have a fibrous root system, which is also known as an adventitious root system. A tap root system has a main root that grows down vertically, from which many smaller lateral roots arise.

Answer 2

Tap root and fibrous root are the two types of root system found in plant .

Explanation:

There are two types of root systems. Monocots have a fibrous root system, while dicots have a tap root system. A tap root system has a vertically growing main root from which several smaller lateral roots emerge.

Tap root:

• The main root of a primary root system that grows vertically downward is called a taproot.
• Taproots are produced by most dicotyledonous plants (see cotyledon), including dandelions, and some, such as the edible roots of carrots and beets, are specialised for food storage. A taproot is the major root.

Fibrous root:

• The opposite of a taproot system is a fibrous root system. It is frequently generated by the stem's thin, modestly branched roots.
• Monocotyledonous plants and ferns all have a fibrous root structure. When the tree has reached full age, the fibrous root systems resemble a root mat.
