Most monocotyledon plants such as grass and onions have fibrous foot systems.

The actual root structure differs from the dicots. Monocots tend to have parallel vein systems in their stems.

[A rare few monocots such as Cordyline australis also develop a substantial tap root. A NZ Cordyline of 1m tall, will have a tap root of 250 - 300 mm long and 30 - 40 mm dia. Used as a food source by the Maori. Again, this plant increases its trunk diameter, unlike most of the family.]
