Detailed explanation-1: -Fibrous Root System : Characterized by having a mass of similarly sized roots. In this case the radicle from a germinating seed is short lived and is replaced by adventitious roots.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fibrous root systems consist of many similarly sized roots which form a dense and tangled mass.

Detailed explanation-3: -A fibrous root system forms a dense network of roots that is closer to the soil surface. An example of a tap root system is a carrot. Grasses such as wheat, rice, and corn are examples of fibrous root systems. Fibrous root systems are found in monocots; tap root systems are found in dicots.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thin, branched roots that arise from the base of the stem are known as fibrous roots. Grasses and monocotyledons are characterised by the presence of fibrous roots. The roots are moderately branched, but once a tree fully matures it gives a mat-like appearance. The thin roots have the same diameter.

Detailed explanation-5: -fibrous, with all roots about the same size; 3.) adventitious, roots that form on any plant part other than the roots. Fibrous systems are characteristic of grasses and are shallower than the taproot systems found on most eudicots and many gymnosperms.
