Solution

A fibrous root system is the opposite of a taprootsystem. 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.

No, fibrous roots does not arise from radicle.
