alleryIn MONOCOT plants, the primary root is short-lived and is replaced by:
APneumatophores
BAdventitious roots only
CTap root system
DFibrous root system (arising from the base of the stem; e.g. wheat)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Fibrous root system (arising from the base of the stem; e.g. wheat)
**Monocots have a fibrous root system:** many roots of similar size arising from the base of the stem after the primary root dies early.
Wheat is a classic example.
Dicots (e.g. mustard) have a tap root system.
