What is modified tap root?
Underground Root ModificationsTaproot and adventitious roots may undergo certain modifications to perform the function of storage and vegetative propagation.Tap Root Modifications (for storage of food)In some plants the tap roots store reserve food for which they become swollen and assume different shapes. There are four types :Fusiform root - In radish the modified tap root is thickened in the middle and tapers towards both ends.e.g., Raphanus sativus (Radish)Napiform root - In beetroot the modified tap root is greatly swollen at the base, but abruptly narrows into a tail-like portion.e.g., Beta vulgaris (Beetroot)Conical root - In carrot the modified tap root is conical. It is broad at the base and gradually tapers towards its apex.e.g., Daucas carota (carrot)
How are muscle fibers arranged to form a muscle?
Muscle fibers can be arranged into two basic structural patterns, fusiform and pinnate. Most human muscles are fusiform, with the fibers largely arranged parallel along the muscle's longitudinal axis. In many of the larger muscles the fibers are inserted obliquely into the tendon, and this arrangement resembles a feather. The fibers in a pinnate (feather) muscle are shorter than those of a fusiform muscle. The arrangement of pinnate muscle fibers can be single or double, as in muscles of the forearm, or multipinnate, as in the gluteus maximus or deltoid.
