Detailed explanation-1: -Dicots, one of the two divisions of flowering plants (angiosperms), start with a taproot, which is one main root forming from the enlarging radicle of the seed.

Detailed explanation-2: -The tap root system has one main root, which is short lived hence smaller roots called lateral roots/secondary roots emerge from it.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct option is B Carrot Which of the following has a tap root system?

Detailed explanation-4: -The root system is the descending (growing downwards) portion of the plant axis. When a seed germinates, radicle is the first organ to come out of it. It elongates to form primary or the tap root. It gives off lateral branches (secondary and tertiary roots) and thus forms the root system.

Detailed explanation-5: -Taproots are commonly found in plants like beetroot, burdock, carrot, sugar beet, dandelion, parsley, parsnip, poppy mallow, radish, sagebrush, turnip, common milkweed, cannabis, and trees such as oaks, elms, pines, and firs are some of the taproot plant names.
