Example: 1 Mark
Fibrous roots are a group of lateral roots arising from the base of the stem. In plants bearing fibrous roots, the initial tap root slowly weakens and is replaced by a bunch of roots arising from the base of the stem. These bunch of roots forms the fibrous roots.
Examples of plants with fibrous roots are banana, grass and onion.
