The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Radicle**: The radicle is the part of the seed embryo that develops into the primary root. It is the first root to emerge during germination. 2. **Identifying Root Types**: There are different types of roots in plants, such as taproots, fibrous roots, adventitious roots, and aerial roots. 3. **Defining Taproot**: The taproot is the main root that grows directly from the radicle. It is typically thicker and longer than other roots and can develop secondary roots. 4. **Contrasting with Other Roots**: - **Fibrous Roots**: These do not originate from the radicle but instead arise from the stem. They consist of many thin roots that spread out. - **Adventitious Roots**: These roots can grow from any part of the plant other than the radicle, such as stems or leaves. - **Aerial Roots**: These are specialized roots that grow above the ground and are not derived from the radicle. 5. **Conclusion**: Since the question specifically asks for the roots that originate from the radicle, the correct answer is the taproot. **Final Answer**: The roots that originate from the radicle are called **taproots**. ---
