DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -What are fibrous roots? Fibrous roots are the roots formed by thin, moderately branching roots emerging from the stem.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
