Answer 2

Answer:

A banyan tree has a tap root system.

Explanation:

The roots of a Banyan tree grow vertically downward with its main root in the centre. Hence, it has a tap root system. To sustain a tree of this size, the banyan tree has one more root system along with taproots.

These other roots are known as prop roots. They grow vertically downwards from the "branches of the banyan tree" and provide additional substance and support to the banyan tree.
