Question

Identify the type of root and the venation pattern corresponding to the plant shown in the image given below.

• A. Fibrous roots, Reticulate venation
• B. Tap roots, Reticulate venation
• C. Fibrous roots, Parallel venation
• D. Tap roots, Parallel venation

Answer 1

The correct option is C Fibrous roots, Parallel venation

The arrangement of veins in the lamina of the leaf is known as venation.

• If the leaves have web-like arrangement of veins on both side of the midrib, it is known as reticulate venation. The plants with a taproot system have leaves with reticulate venation.
• If the leaves have parallel arrangement of veins in lamina from the base to the tip, it is known as parallel venation. The plants with fibrous roots have parallel venation.
