The correct Answer is:
To determine the type of root that fusiform, conical, and napiform roots are modifications of, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Root Types**: - Begin by identifying the different types of roots. The main types include: - Adventitious roots - Fibrous roots - Tap roots - Fasciculated roots 2. **Identify Modifications**: - Recognize that fusiform, conical, and napiform roots are specific modifications of roots. - Fusiform roots are wider in the middle and taper at both ends. - Conical roots are widest at the top and taper downwards. - Napiform roots are bulbous at the top and taper sharply at the bottom. 3. **Relate Modifications to Root Types**: - Compare these modifications to the types of roots: - Adventitious and fibrous roots generally do not exhibit these modifications. - Fasciculated roots also do not show these characteristics. - Tap roots, however, can exhibit these modifications. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since fusiform, conical, and napiform roots are modifications that can be observed in tap roots, we conclude that the correct answer is **tap root**. ### Final Answer: Fusiform, conical, and napiform roots are modifications of **tap roots**. ---
