Solution
The correct option is C Tap
Two kinds of root systems are seen in flowering plants:
(i) Taproot system: Primary root grows vertically down into the soil, secondary roots grow from this at an acute angle outwards and downwards, and from these other branches may arise. The main or primary root is known as the taproot; together with its branched roots, it forms a taproot system e.g. the bean.
(ii) Fibrous root system: The primary root usually dies at an early stage and is replaced by numerous roots that develop from the stem, e.g., the maize.
