Detailed explanation-1: -Dicot plants have tap root system and fibrous root system is seen in monocots . Taproots have a main central root upon which, small, lateral roots called root hairs are attached. Mustard, carrot, beetroot, parsley, china rose and all dicotyledons are examples of taproot systems.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dicot roots also contain one main root called the taproot, where other, smaller roots branch off. Despite the type of plant, roots are essential to the plant’s growth and survival, therefore encouraging a deeper and more extensive root system that can help increase the health of the plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -In gymnosperms and dicotyledons (angiosperms with two seed leaves), the radicle becomes a taproot. It grows downward, and secondary roots grow laterally from it to… …from the embryonic root (radicle), which grows out of the seed after the seed has absorbed water. This is the primary root of a new plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dicot roots have a taproot structure, meaning they form a single thick root, with lateral branches, that grows deep into the soil. The ground tissue of dicot roots, primarily composed of parenchyma cells, surrounds the roots’ central vascular structures.

Detailed explanation-5: -Monocot root refers to the fibrous or adventitious roots consisting of a wide network of thin roots and root fibers that originate from the stem while dicot root refers to the taproots consisting of a single primary root from which secondary and tertiary roots develop and grow vertically downwards through the soil.
