    There are three main types of roots: taproots, fibrous roots, and adventitious roots. Taproots are large and fleshy, grow deep into the ground to find food and store it, and are mostly found in dicots. Fibrous roots form a dense network near the soil surface and are found in monocots. Adventitious roots develop from plant stems or leaves to help with climbing or form structures like bulbs.

    anchoring the plant to the ground extracting water and minerals from the soil

    There are three types of roots: taproots, fibrous roots and adventitious roots.

    Types of Roots Diagram.

    Taproots

    are large and fleshy in appearance, grow deep into the ground to search for food, are able to store food, which is particularly necessary for perennial plants during periods of dormancy, are mostly found in plants with two seedleaves (dicots) lie close to the surface of the soil, collect precipitation before it sinks deep into the ground,

    Fibrous roots

    can often be found growing side by side with taproots: the two types of root combine efforts to maximize efficiency. are mostly found in plants with one seedleaf (monocots) develop to help the plant climb: for example, ivies help develop modified underground stems, such as bulbs are common in both dicots and monocots

    Adventitious roots

    Fibrous root Eg. grasses, wheat, rice, maize and barley
