Fibrous - roots resemble fibers - there is no single primary root
There are thousands of species with fiberous root systems, the most common are many members of monocotyledonous plants such as grasses:Maize, Rice, Wheat etcMarigoldWhite Clover
Plants have three types of root systems: 1.) taproot, with a main taproot that is large 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. Fibrous systems are characteristic of grasses and are shallower than the taproot systems found on most eudicots and many gymnosperms.
Adventitious is the type of roots that Johnson grass has.Specifically, Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense) has stems above-ground and below. The subterranean stem is designated a rhizome. It produces both roots for anchoring in soil and gathering soil nutrients as well as shoots for increasing photosynthetic and seed-making activities above-ground.
no, bamboo plants have shallow adventitious root systems
It has a Fibrous Root System. The roots grow downward, and split into many. A Tap Root (as the previous answer said) is just one root going downward.

no, bamboo plants have shallow adventitious root systems
There are a number of different types of root systems, as with many things roots do not fit neatly into man-defined groupings. The three main, recognised systems are: Tap, Adventitious (commonly associated with monocotylednous plants) and aerial root systems (such as epiphitic plants) See related link for more information

no, bamboo plants have shallow adventitious root systems
Some plants with taproots: * Burdock * Dandelion * Kudzu * Parsnip * Patterson's Curse * Poppy mallow * Radish * Turnip * Carrot * Green alkanet * Sturt's Desert Pea * Welwitschia *A potato is not the root, but more like the storage tank for the plant (of food water and minerals) called the tuber (too-ber). =]
monocotyledonous
fibrous root systems
All grasses have adventitious roots. Common examples are wheat, barley, oat, sugarcane etc.
