The phenomenon where the primary root is short-lived and is replaced by a cluster of roots arising from the base of the stem is seen in:
A. Grasses
B. Mustard
C. Carrot
D. Peepal tree

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
In monocotyledonous plants like grasses, the primary tap root formed from the radicle is short-lived and aborts early. It is subsequently replaced by a large number of fibrous roots that arise adventitiously from the base of the stem. This forms a fibrous root system. Mustard, peepal, and carrot exhibit a tap root system derived from the primary root.
