Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
In fibrous type of root system, the radicle, primary roots stops growth or becomes rudimentary, while new roots for anchorage and absorption develop from the base of the stem. This type of root formation is observed in Monocots. Therefore assertion is correct, because it is a distinguishing feature of monocots it is not found in dicots. The dicots have tap root system also called the true roots that develop from the radicle. Therefore, reason is false
So, the correct answer is 'Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect'
