Question Detail
Question
A plant with a single, dominant main root from which smaller lateral roots branch out is characteristic of which root type?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Page 8 lists 'Tap roots' as one of the main types. While the definition isn't explicitly given in words, the diagram on page 8 clearly illustrates a taproot with a dominant central root, contrasting it with fibrous roots.
Hint
Think about the common root structure found in carrots or dandelions.
