What is a fibrus root?

A fibrous root is a type of root system characterized by many thin, hair-like roots that spread out from the base of the plant, rather than a single thick taproot. This root structure is common in many grasses and some other plants, allowing for better anchorage and efficient absorption of water and nutrients from the soil. Fibrous roots typically grow close to the soil surface, making them effective for stabilizing soil and preventing erosion.
