Question

Is onion a tap root?

Answer 1

Onion:

1. The onion bulb is a modified stem with a large number of fleshy scale leaves.
2. Taproot originates from plant roots, but fibrous roots grow from stems and leaves instead of radicals.
3. Onion roots are short-lived and numerous and a bundle of fibrous roots are present at the base of the bulb.
4. So onions do not have tap roots but fibrous roots.
