Plants have three types of root systems: 1.) taproot, with a main taproot that is large and grows faster than the branch roots; 2.) fibrous, with all roots about the same size; 3.) adventitious, roots that form on any plant part other than the roots. Fibrous systems are characteristic of grasses and are shallower than the taproot systems found on most eudicots and many gymnosperms.

The root system of the Jowar plant can be divided into a primary and secondary root system. The primary system has a primary root that develops from the germinating seedling and provides the seedling with water and nutrients required for growth. The primary root is short-lived, and the function of the primary root is taken over by a secondary root system. The secondary system develops from the root crowns that are located just under or above the soil. The root system of an adult Jowar plant is made of secondary adventitious roots. Lateral roots develop from the secondary adventitious roots and penetrate the soil in all directions.
