Solution
The correct option is C (a) Tap, (b) Fibrous and (c) Tuberous
In some plants, the main root becomes thick and has thin rootlets. The main thick root is known as tap root. The thin rootlets arising from tap roots are known as lateral roots. In some plants, small hair-like roots are found arising from the base of the stem. The small hair like roots are known as fibrous roots. In plants that have fibrous roots, there is no main root. Some plants store food materials in their roots and hence, the roots bulge out from the plants. Plants like raddish, carrots and beetroots are known as plants having tuberous roots.
