the tap root systems
Fibrous root systems
• Many small roots that
spread out laterally from
the base of the stem
• Development of tap root
stop growing leaving fibrous
root
Examples :
Corn (Zea mays)
Banana (Musa sp.)
Grass
These roots grow near the surface and can collect
water in a wide area. Because of the numerous
branches of the roots these plants are excellent
for preventing Erosion (Grasses). Fibrous Roots of
Monocots often develop from the base of the
Stem rather than from other roots.
A Few plants have special roots called
ADVENTITIOUS ROOTS.
