Desert plants are known to have taproots. With these types of roots there are two components which consist of the primary root and secondary lateral roots. These types of roots can also be found on dandelions, carrots, radishes, potatoes, and beets.

Why would a plant in the desert have a large root system close to the surface?

because its roots spred out because the roots sense the water and therfor they extend far away so that they can reach the water The roots would be near the surface because when there is precipitation, it does not penetrate the ground very far. Since there is very little precipitation in the desert a plant would need to maximize the area from which to gather water, hence the very large root system.
