Primary root forms tap root, its lateral branches are secondary roots; branches of secondary roots in turn produce tertiary roots and so on. The tap root with its branches forms the tap root system.

(b) ADVENTITIOUS ROOTS-When roots develop from any other region instead of their normal place of origin i.e. the radicle, the roots are called adventitious and the

resulting root system is known as adventitious root system
