Vascular or nonvascular?
The correct term for this type of root system is a taproot system. In this system, one main root grows deep into the soil, with smaller lateral roots branching off from it.
As far as I have researched and have been told by an arborist (as I have one in my backyard), the root system is as deep as about half the height of the tree. The Rubber Tree is also considered to have an extremely invasive root system. It is not recommended that it be grown near buildings or walkways.
A fibrous root system is the opposite of the tap root system (one main root).
A taproot system is a type of root system found in some plants where the primary root, known as the taproot, grows deep into the soil and gives rise to lateral roots. This system is common in dicotyledonous plants and allows for efficient absorption of water and nutrients from deep in the soil. Examples of plants with taproot systems include carrots, radishes, and oak trees.

One main root, with a spread of fibrous roots, describes a tap root system.

Mango plants have a taproot system, where the primary root grows vertically downward and gives rise to lateral roots. This taproot system helps mango plants anchor themselves firmly in the soil and reach deep water sources. In contrast, maize plants have a fibrous root system, consisting of thin, branching roots that spread out horizontally near the surface to efficiently absorb nutrients and water from the topsoil.
It is called a taproot.
Tap roots have one large central root that is thick and well-developed, providing stability and anchorage for the plant. This tap root system helps a plant access deep water and nutrients, making it beneficial for plants growing in dry or nutrient-poor soils.
