Apple trees have a tap root for stability and fibrous roots to gather water. Apple tree roots do not grow when the tree buds. Then the roots are too busy gathering water and nutrients to grow more roots. After the fruit is grown, the roots will start growing again.

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.
Older banyan trees are characterized by their aerial prop roots that grow into thick woody trunks which, with age, can become indistinguishable from the main one.
I have a similar question concerning tree roots.. but it's MY tree. The tree roots are coming up in the front yard and cracking the floor in the garage (under house) wondered if Homeowners would pay toward having it removed because it is damaging the house.
