Question

A plant is found to have tap root. Can you suggest what kind of venation its leaves have?

Answer 1

Tap root:

1. In the taproot system, one main root grows vertically downwards to the soil.
2. Secondary roots arise from this lateral main root.
3. Tap root system is found in dicot plants.
4. In dicot plants, the veins and veinlets form a network around the midrib and hence they have reticulate venation.
5. Hence plants which have taproots have reticulate venation.
