Consider the following statements.

(A) Fibrous root is a type of adventitious root.

(B) It does not develop from radicle but from the base of main stem.

Select the correct option.

                      

Plants have three types of root systems:

(i) Taproot - This system has a main primary root formed from radicle that is larger and grows faster than the branches of it.

(ii) Fibrous- Fibrous root system has all roots of the same size, the whole root system is fibrous and branches grow in all directions. They are mostly found in monocots. The main function of the fibrous root is to anchor the plant.

(iii) Adventitious- They originate from the stem, branches, leaves, or old woody roots. They commonly occur in monocots and pteridophytes, but also in many dicots.
