Does an apple tree have taproots or fibrous root system for kids?

An Apple tree has a fibrous root system rather than a taproot. This means its roots spread out widely and grow in many directions close to the surface of the soil, helping the tree absorb water and nutrients effectively. Fibrous roots also provide stability, which is important for supporting the tree as it grows. So, instead of one deep root, Apple trees have lots of smaller roots that work together!
