What sort of roots are found in dicots?
A
Tap roots
B
Fibrous roots
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

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 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-3: -In most dicots, the radicle enlarges to form a prominent taproot that persists throughout the life of the plant. Many progressively smaller branch roots grow from the taproot.

Detailed explanation-4: -Upon germination, the first structure to emerge from most seeds is the root from the embryonic radicle. This primary root is a taproot. In plants in which the taproot persists, smaller lateral roots (secondary roots) commonly arise from the taproot and may in turn produce even smaller lateral roots (tertiary roots).

Detailed explanation-5: -The Taproot system is divided into two types. These are the Deep feeder and Surface feeder.
