Question

what are the different types of roots present in plants​

Answer 1

1.) taproot, with a main taproot that is larger and grows faster than the branch roots;

2.) fibrous, with all roots about the same size;

3.) adventitious, roots that form on any plant part other than the roots

Answer 2

Plants have two types of root systems:-

• Taproots
• Fibrous roots

The main difference between them:-

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. Fibrous root system anchors less efficient than taproot.
