FAQs on Primary & Fibrous Root Types Video Lecture - Biology Class 11 - NEET

1. What is the difference between primary and fibrous root types?
Ans. Primary roots are thick and grow vertically downward from the seed, while fibrous roots are thin and spread horizontally in all directions. Primary roots are the main root of the plant, while fibrous roots are a network of roots.
2. How do primary roots support the plant?
Ans. Primary roots anchor the plant in the soil, provide stability, and absorb water and nutrients from the soil for the plant's growth and development.
3. What are the advantages of fibrous root systems?
Ans. Fibrous root systems have several advantages, including increased surface area for better absorption of water and nutrients, improved stability against wind and other forces, and the ability to adapt to different soil conditions.
4. Can primary roots turn into fibrous roots over time?
Ans. No, primary roots do not turn into fibrous roots. Primary roots remain thick and continue to grow downward, while fibrous roots develop from adventitious roots that arise from the stem or branches of the plant.
5. How can I encourage the growth of fibrous roots in my plants?
Ans. To encourage the growth of fibrous roots, you can provide well-drained soil, regular watering, and avoid over-fertilization. Additionally, planting in a wider container or spacing the plants adequately can promote the development of fibrous root systems.
