Taproot and fibrous root systems differ primarily in their structure and function. A taproot system features a single, thick primary root that grows deep into the soil, with smaller lateral roots branching off; this allows for better access to deep water and nutrients. In contrast, a fibrous root system consists of many thin, shallow roots that spread out horizontally from the base of the plant, providing stability and efficient absorption of surface moisture and nutrients. These adaptations suit different environmental conditions and plant types.
