tap root and fibrous root
Answers
Answer:
The fibrous root system occupies less surface area than taproot. Taproot grows vertically downwards and thus reaches deep into the soil. The fibrous root grows horizontally in all directions and thus doesn't reach deep into the soil. The Taproot system anchors the plant more firmly than the fibrous root.
Answer:
A taproot is when there is one main root that grows straight down deep into the soil. It only has very few lateral roots that develop and grow off this main root.
The taproot is a feature of plants that are known as dicotyledons and it is also found in the plants known as gymnosperms.
A fibrous root is a root that consists of groups of roots of similar size and length. They do not penetrate as deeply into the soil as does a taproot.
The fibrous root is a feature of plants that are monocotyledons. Unlike the tap root, the primary root produced during development does not remain, and instead roots, known as adventitious roots, are produced from the stem of the plant.
