Yes, monocots typically have an adventitious root system. This means that their roots can develop from parts of the plant other than the primary root, often from the stem or leaves. This type of root system is beneficial for stability and allows monocots to efficiently absorb water and nutrients from the soil. Examples of monocots include grasses, lilies, and orchids.
Monocots typically have fibrous root systems with thin, branching roots that arise from the stem base. Dicots, on the other hand, usually have a taproot system with a single, thick main root that goes deep into the soil, and lateral roots branching off from it. This difference in root system development results from the initial growth patterns of the embryonic roots in each group.
Not all monocotyledonous plants have both fibrous and adventitious root systems. While many monocots, such as grasses, typically exhibit fibrous root systems that arise from the base of the stem, some may also develop adventitious roots under specific conditions. Adventitious roots can emerge from other parts of the plant, like stems or leaves, but this is not a universal trait among all monocots. Therefore, the root system type can vary depending on the species and environmental factors.
Monocots have fibrous root system
Monocots exhibit two main types of growth patterns: primary growth, which includes elongation of the stem and root tips, and secondary growth, which involves an increase in thickness due to the activity of lateral meristems (vascular cambium and cork cambium). This growth pattern differs from dicots, which show more pronounced secondary growth.

A tap root is just one big root like a carrot or a tap root goes straight down and A adventitious root may come out from under ground part of the plant except the radicle as in a number of monocots
tap root system
Bamboo has an adventitious root system

No, most of them have a fibrous root system.
Adventitious is your correct answer
The Neem tree has a primary taproot system with a secondary adventitious surface root system
Adventitious roots in the form of fibrous roots are generally produced by monocots but there are several examples of Dicots also producing adv. roots.
The aerial root is also an adventitious root but it emerges from the aerial part of the stem. On the other hand, adventitious root may come out from under groud part of the plant except the radicle as in a number of monocots.
