Question

Name two plants that have fibrous roots.

Answer 1

Fibrous root

1. Fibrous roots are bushy roots in which thin, moderately branching roots grow from the stem.
2. The fundamental function of fibrous roots, which are thin and include root hairs, is to collect plant nutrients and water from the soil.
3. As the plant grows, the bottom nodes of the mother ginger rhizome and main fingers produce several fleshy roots of indefinite growth.
4. Rice, wheat, maize, marigold, banana and all monocotyledons are some examples of the fibrous root system.
