D
Fibrous
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In some plants, like grass, Monstera and the banyan tree, roots arise from parts of the plant other than the radicle and are called adventitious roots.

Detailed explanation-2: -The roots that arise from any part of the plant other than the radicle or its branches are called adventitious roots. They generally reproduce from stem nodes, internodes, leaves, etc. Dicots mainly have this type of root system, where the primary root grows from the radicle of the germinating seeds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Some roots, called adventitious roots, arise from an organ other than the root-usually a stem, sometimes a leaf. They are especially numerous on underground stems, such as rhizomes, corms, and tubers, and make it possible to vegetatively propagate many plants from stem or leaf cuttings.

Detailed explanation-4: -Adventitious roots can be found in grass, Monstera, and banyan trees. Grass and Monstera are monocots whereas, the banyan tree (Ficus) is a dicot.
