Detailed explanation-1: -Dicot plants have tap root system and fibrous root system is seen in monocots .
Detailed explanation-2: -Dicots have a tap root system, while monocots have a fibrous root system. A tap root system has a main root that grows down vertically, and from which many smaller lateral roots arise.
Detailed explanation-3: -Monocot roots are fibrous, meaning they form a wide network of thin roots that originate from the stem and stay close to the surface of the soil. In contrast, dicots have “taproots, ” meaning they form a single thick root that grows deep into the soil and has smaller, lateral branches.
