one common adaptation of the root system of a desert plant is to grow very deep in the soil to collect moisture from depths that has not evaporated. another is to grow roots close to the surface but spread far out to collect as much moisture as possible from a larger surface area
The taproot system is one single main root, unlike the fibrous root system which contains many small roots. An example of the taproot system would be a carrot.
