Answer 2

Taproot system is present in dicotyledonous plants

Explanation:

• Taproot is the main root of the primary root chain, which develops vertically downwards, from where some smaller lateral roots arise.

• Roots are modified depending on the purpose of the plant. Taproots are specifically modified for the storage of food.

• Examples include carrots, turnips, and beetroots.

• Taproots can penetrate deep into the soil and so can find deep underground water and minerals.

• Therefore, they are also known as drought-resistant plants.
