Question 8

Is it possible for you to find out whether a plant has taproot or fibrous roots by looking at the impression of its leaf on a sheet of paper?

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible to find out the type of root a plant has by looking at the impression of its leaf. By looking at the impression, we can find the type of venation. Using this we can find the type of root.
If a plant has parallel venation, then the root would be a fibrous root.
If the plant has reticulate venation, then the root would be a tap root.
