Question

If a plant has leaves with reticulate venation, then what kind of roots does it have?

Answer 1

Plants with reticulate venation in their leaves are likely to have tap roots. For example, a carrot or a rose plant has leaves with reticulate venation and its roots are called tap roots.

In tap roots, there is one main root known as the ‘tap root’ that grows straight down from the stem. It also has smaller roots known as ‘lateral roots’. In leaves with reticulate venation, the veins are arranged in a net-like pattern.
