    There are two main types of roots: tap roots and fibrous roots. Tap roots have a prominent primary root from which lateral roots grow out from, and can sometimes be fleshy and edible. Examples include narra, acacia, radish, and carrot. Fibrous roots are composed of many fine, threadlike roots of similar size originating at the stem base. Examples include pechay, cogon, rice, and lemon grass. The document then provides examples of plant species and identifies whether they have tap or fibrous root systems.
