Hipnees
A flowering plant also known as an angiosperm have roots, leaves and stems. They are either and monocot which has 3 petals branching roots and parallel vines, Or it is a diocot which has 4 or 5 petals trap roots and branching vines.
Fibrous roots are usually found in monocot plants, not dicots. Dicots typically have a taproot system, which consists of a main root with smaller lateral roots branching off of it.
Monocot plants have a shoot system with leaves that have parallel veins, while dicot plants have leaves with branching veins. Additionally, monocots typically have fibrous roots, while dicots have a tap root system.
Corn is a monocot plant, meaning it has a fibrous root system. Monocot roots do not have a main taproot like dicots, but instead have a network of thin roots that spread out from the base of the plant.

Branching in roots is endogenous and in stems it is exogenous

Tap root
Corn is a monocot plant, meaning it has a fibrous root system. Monocot roots do not have a main taproot like dicots, but instead have a network of thin roots that spread out from the base of the plant.
dicot
The roots of most dicots originate from the radicle. They appear in an X shape - with the xylem in the centre, and phloem in the gaps. By contrast, the radicle of monocots aborts, and the roots appear to originate almost at random from nodes in the stem. The phloem and xylem alternate - forming a circle.

Monocot and dicot
Monocot roots have a characteristic structure where vascular tissues are scattered instead of being arranged in a distinct ring as in dicot roots. This makes it more challenging for monocot roots to develop secondary growth and increase in thickness. Dicot roots, on the other hand, have a well-defined vascular cambium that allows them to undergo secondary growth, resulting in an increase in thickness.
