b. If we were to dig up this plant, what type of root system should we expect to find? Describe what the roots of this plant should look like according to your identification in part a above addressing the presence or absence of the following parts: • Tap root • Lateral root • Fibrous root system • Trichomes

Respuesta :

Answer:

Tap root

Explanation:

A large majority of dicotyledonous plants are capable of producing tap roots, which is part of a primary rot system that grows in the vertical direction - downwards. Sometimes it serves the function of storing food, as in the case of dandelions.

One main role that the trichomes (fine hair-like outgrowth) play is to defend the plant against certain insects.
