Types of Roots

Tap Root

It is the primary and the main root that develops from the radicle, bears numerous branches and remains underground. It is usually found in dicots. For example: sunflower, mustard, carrot, mango.

Adventitious Root

These are roots that develop from any part of the plant except the radicle. They may be aerial or underground. They may grow from node (money plant, bamboo), stem cutting
(rose), tree branch (banyan) or stem base (fibrous roots in monocots).
