Do all monocotyledonous plants have both fibrous and adventitious root systems?

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.
