How are taproots and fibrous roots different and alike?

• Answer:

  Taproots have one main root such as the carrot, and fibrous roots spread out in a more widespread manner and are thinner like grass roots onions. Weeds that have tap roots are harder to get rid of ,because if you chop them instead of lifting them out of the ground ,they will regrow spreading further.Also because taproots anchor to the ground very tightly.It is better to eliminate them with a chemical like "Round up" which is a substance like liquid that is like acid but more mild.
