The modified root of a corn plant is known as a fibrous root system. Unlike a taproot, this system consists of numerous thin roots that spread out from the base of the plant, providing stability and efficient nutrient absorption. The fibrous roots help anchor the plant in the soil and enhance its ability to access water and nutrients, especially in the upper layers of the soil. Additionally, these roots can help prevent soil erosion.
