In flowering plants, roots are mainly of three types: taproot, fibrous root, and adventitious root.
- The taproot system is found in dicot plants, where a primary root grows deep into the soil with lateral branches (e.g., mango, mustard).
- The fibrous root system is found in monocot plants, where a cluster of thin roots arises from the base of the stem, spreading horizontally (e.g., wheat, rice).
- Adventitious roots arise from parts of the plant other than the radicle, such as stems or leaves, and help in support, storage, or propagation (e.g., banyan, sugarcane).
