Best Answer

The parts of roots that take up nutrients in a plant are known as fibrous roots. In a tree for example, these are found near the surface of the ground and extend to the 'drip line' of the tree (the area where water drips to from the leaves). You can see fibrous roots if you dig down around six inches, particularly towards the end of the drip line.
