The correct Answer is:
To determine which plant has a fibrous root system, we can analyze the options provided: wheat, mustard, monstera, and banyan tree. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definition of Fibrous Root System**: - A fibrous root system is characterized by thin, moderately branching roots that grow from the stem. This system is typically found in monocotyledons (monocots) and some ferns. 2. **Identify the Characteristics of Each Plant**: - **Wheat**: Wheat is a monocot and has a fibrous root system. The roots are thin and spread out, forming a dense network close to the soil surface. - **Mustard**: Mustard is a dicot and has a tap root system, which is a single main root that grows deeper into the soil. - **Monstera**: Monstera has aerial roots, which are roots that grow above the ground and are not classified as fibrous or tap roots. - **Banyan Tree**: The banyan tree has prop roots that grow down from the branches, which are different from fibrous roots. 3. **Conclude Based on the Analysis**: - Among the options, only wheat has a fibrous root system. Mustard has a tap root system, monstera has aerial roots, and the banyan tree has prop roots. ### Final Answer: The fibrous root system is present in the case of **wheat**. ---
