Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In a fibrous root system, the roots grow downwards into the soil, and also branch off sideways throughout the soil. This forms a mass of fine roots, with no distinct tap root, because the embryonic root dies back while the plant is still young and growing.
Detailed explanation-2: -A taproot is a single, large primary root that grows straight down from the stem of a plant.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fibrous root system – has several to many roots of the same size that develop from the end of the stem, with smaller lateral roots branching off of them.
