Question

Sugarcane, bamboo, millets etc. are examples of ______ root.

• A. fibrous root
• B. tap root
• C. deep root
• D. thick root

Answer 1

The correct option is A fibrous root

A fibrous root system is the opposite of a taproot system. It is usually formed by thin, moderately branching roots growing from the stem. A fibrous root system is universal in monocotyledonous plants and ferns. The fibrous root systems look like a mat made out of roots when the tree has reached full maturity.
