B
Woody
C
Tangle
D
Tap
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fibrous roots grow fairly close to the surface of the ground. Leaves with parallel venation have fibrous roots. Forages have a fibrous root system, which helps combat erosion by anchoring the plants to the top layer of the soil, and covering the entirety of the field, as it is a non-row crop.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fibrous roots are the roots formed by thin, moderately branching roots emerging from the stem. Wheat, rice and corn are some of the examples of fibrous roots.

Detailed explanation-3: -The difference between taproot and fibrous root can be simply defined in terms of their structure. A taproot is a single, large primary root that grows straight down from the stem of a plant. Fibrous roots are smaller, secondary roots that spread out in all directions from the stem.
