because not all trees have branches which is adventitious and others have straight trunks without branches like coconut trees
Roots not arising from radical (embryonic root) are called adventitious roots.

adventitious root system diffuse or fasiculate root system
Some of the major functions of the adventitious root is absorption and storage. The adventitious root absorb a large amount of dissolved minerals and water from the soil and anchor the plant in one place as it locates minerals and water.
Some cacti have a tap root while others have a dense fibrous root system.
Wow, biology does come in handy! Anyway, certain plants grow new roots because it's a way of asexual reproduction for that plant. Many cacti do this. They drop stems or branches that grow roots and become clones of the original plant.

All grasses have adventitious roots. Common examples are wheat, barley, oat, sugarcane etc.

Some plants with taproots: * Burdock * Dandelion * Kudzu * Parsnip * Patterson's Curse * Poppy mallow * Radish * Turnip * Carrot * Green alkanet * Sturt's Desert Pea * Welwitschia *A potato is not the root, but more like the storage tank for the plant (of food water and minerals) called the tuber (too-ber). =]

Roots on the upper parts of the plant are called adventitious roots. They are not real roots per se. In some plants, their role is to provide extra support to the plant, for example, maize. In other plants like orchids, the aerial roots function to attach the plant to a surface as well as absorb moisture from the air for the water requirement of the plant.

Strangling roots: the special name for roots of strangling figs (Ficus), which are primary hemiepiphytes that begin life as tropical epiphytes in trees and send down adventitious roots that become rooted in the soil. The roots surround the host trunk, eventually strangling the bark and killing the host tree.Still roots: Still roots are adventitious support roots (mangroves). They grown from lateral branches, branching in the soil surfaceetc,.
They can be both. Tap roots grow straight down to anchor the tree, fibrous roots spread out to take up nutrients. As well as some trees be both because some tap roots contrast with the fibrous roots system................
Roots are the primary structures responsible for absorbing water and nutrients from the soil. They have root hairs that increase surface area for absorption and mycorrhizal fungi associations that enhance nutrient uptake. Additionally, some plants have specialized structures like pneumatophores in mangroves or adventitious roots in some plants to facilitate water and nutrient uptake in specific environments.
Some roots store carbohydrates or water
