Difference between taproot and fibrous roots |
|
Answer» main root (primary root) with other minor side roots, which grow deep into the soil is called Taproot. Taproot arises from the radicle (embryonic part) of the plants, but the Fibrous root grows from the stem and LEAVES rather from the radicle. .Explanation:TAPROOT ROOTS : One of the main type of root system in angiosperms is the tap root systems. The roots which develop from the radicle (embryonic root) of the plants are called tap root. These are deep-rooted, underground roots having one main single thick root called as primary root. The primary root has BRANCHES as secondary, tertiary or lateral from the primary branch.Taproot system is usually seen in dicots; these roots help plants to anchor better to the soil. It also helps in absorbing water from deeper sources, and hence these can survive in drought SITUATION also.FIBROUS ROOTS : Fibrous roots are known for the cluster or group of similarly SIZED, thickness, hair like structure. This structure emerges at the base of the plant, which can grow into the soil (downward) or AERIALLY (upward) and in all the directions. Fibrous roots do not arise from the radicle but the other parts of the plants like stems and leaves. inshort they have a lott of minure roots in it. ♡o。.(✿ฺ。✿ฺ) |
