Fibrous roots are adventitious roots. Do you agree with this ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Adventitious roots are those arising from plant parts other than radicle. Fibrous roots are seen in monocots. In monocots, the primary root arising from radicle is short-lived & soon replaced by the lateral roots arising in bunches from the base of stem. Thus fibrous roots are adventitious in origin.
