Answer:
Fibrous Roots
Fibrous roots are found in monocot plants. They are slender, branched, and grow directly from the stem.
This root system is primarily found in monocots and ferns.
The roots are short and occupy a small surface area.
They’re poor in anchoring the plant in the soil, and most are easy to uproot.
They form after the first root, also known as radicle, falls off.
Fibrous roots grow shallow in the soil and mostly horizontally.
Example grass , wheat , rice , marigold etc
Taproots
a straight tapering root growing vertically downwards and forming the centre from which subsidiary rootlets spring .Taproots are found in the majority of dicot plants. This type of root is a direct elongation of the radical. A straight tapering root growing vertically downwards and forming the centre from which subsidiary rootlets spring.
