Answer 1

Answer:

Fibrous roots – These are bushy roots in which thin, moderately branching roots grow from the stem. Examples – Rice, wheat, maize, marigold, banana and all monocotyledons.

A tap root system has a single main root that grows down. A fibrous root system forms a dense network of roots that is closer to the soil surface. An example of a tap root system is a carrot. Grasses such as wheat, rice, and corn are examples of fibrous root systems.

Storage roots, such as carrots, beets, and sweet potatoes, are examples of roots that are specially modified for storage of starch and water. They usually grow underground as protection from plant-eating animals.
