Number of lateral roots emerging from the large root
No, tap roots and root hairs are not the same. Tap roots are the main root of a plant that grows straight down, while root hairs are tiny, hair-like extensions that grow from the surface of roots and are responsible for nutrient absorption.
Prop roots are roots that grow above the ground to support the plant, fibrous roots are thin and highly branched roots that spread out close to the surface, while tap roots are a single thick main root with smaller branches.
Taproot system. A taproot system usually consists of one large main root, with smaller branching roots extending from it. This type of root system is common in dicot plants.
Aloe vera has a fibrous root system. The roots are shallow and spread out horizontally near the surface of the soil, rather than having one main tap root. This helps the plant capture water efficiently and anchor itself firmly in the ground.
the function of taproot to absorb or to transport the nutrients from the soil over the branch of roots.....................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!................................. !!!!!!!! :P

One main root, with a spread of fibrous roots, describes a tap root system.
Tap root is formed from the radicle (embryonic root) and is the largest dominant root. Fibrous roots a/k/a adventitious roots form when radicle dies and new roots form from the tissue at the base of the stem not root tissue.
Prop roots are roots that grow above the ground to support the plant, fibrous roots are thin and highly branched roots that spread out close to the surface, while tap roots are a single thick main root with smaller branches.
A tap root - a straight tapering root growing downwards forming the centre from which small roots grow
Taproot system. A taproot system usually consists of one large main root, with smaller branching roots extending from it. This type of root system is common in dicot plants.
fibrous root systems do not penetrate as deeply into the soil as taproots do, and they are made up of a large number of roots that are all similar in size. Tap root systems are composed of one primary root which is thick and penetrates deeply, while other smaller roots grow off of this primary root.taproot systems have an extrememly large surface area, and so are very good at absorbing water when there is enough available near the surface. The advantage of tap roots is that they can get at water lower down in case it does not rain enough, etc.The taproot develops from the root embryo, the radicle. A fibrous root system consists of many roots, none of which is the radicle, instead all the main roots are adventitious roots that originate in the stem tissue
Fibrous. Just transplanted one today!
Tap root.
there is more surface area for the root to absorb water
Aloe vera has a fibrous root system. The roots are shallow and spread out horizontally near the surface of the soil, rather than having one main tap root. This helps the plant capture water efficiently and anchor itself firmly in the ground.
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.
