Solution

The sweet potato or kumara (Ipomoea batatas) is a dicotyledonous plant that belongs to the family Convolvulaceae. Its large, starchy, sweet-tasting, tuberous roots are a root vegetable. It is just modified to store starch that gives us a feeling that it is a fibrous root system.

No it is not taproot
