Text Solution

Yes. Root developing from any part of the plant other than radicle is called Adventitious root. In case of fibrous root system, the radicle is short lived and lateral roots arise from base of stem as a bunch. These are called fibrous roots and are hence said to be adventitious. Eg: Grasses.
