The roots are classified into three categories, which are as follows:
Taproot: The radicle of the seed elongates and develops to create the primary root. Secondary roots are the lateral branches of the main root. Secondary roots, in turn, branch to generate tertiary roots, such as dicotyledonous roots. The taproot system is made up of the main root and its lateral branches. Taproots have the ability to penetrate deep into the earth.
Fibrous Root: The main root of monocotyledonous plants is short-lived and is replaced by a network of roots. The fibrous root system is made up of these roots that grow from the base of the stem. These roots don’t go very deep into the ground.
Adventitious Root: The adventitious root system is the root system that grows from any portion of the plant body other than the radicle. The radicle dies soon after germination in this case. As a result, these roots emerge from areas of the plant other than the radicle.
