OBJECTIVE FORESTRY

Detailed explanation-1: -Taproot systems feature a single, thick primary root, called the taproot, with smaller secondary roots growing out from the sides. The taproot may penetrate as many as 60 meters (almost 200 feet) below the ground surface.

Detailed explanation-2: -The primary root, or radicle, is the first organ to appear when a seed germinates. It grows downward into the soil, anchoring the seedling. In gymnosperms and dicotyledons (angiosperms with two seed leaves), the radicle becomes a taproot.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are three major types of roots found in plants, namely taproot, fibrous root and adventitious roots. Taproot is the primary root that is developed in all vascular plants upon germination. It persists in some plants while some plants get modified into adventitious or fibrous root systems.

Detailed explanation-4: -Examples of plants with tap roots are Carrot, Radish, Beetroot etc. On the other hand Onion, Grass, Wheat, Coconut palm are the examples of the fibrous roots or system.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plants have three types of root systems: 1.) taproot, with a main taproot that is larger and grows faster than the branch roots; 2.) fibrous, with all roots about the same size; 3.) adventitious, roots that form on any plant part other than the roots.
