Question

If a plant has leaves with reticulate venation, what kind of roots will it have?

Answer in Brief

Solution

Plants with reticulate venation in their leaves are likely to have taproots. For example, a carrot or a rose plant has leaves with reticulate venation and its roots are called taproots.

Taproots and reticulate venation:-

In tap roots, there is one main root known as the ‘taproot’ that grows straight down from the stem. It also has smaller roots known as ‘lateral roots’. In leaves with reticulate venation, the veins are arranged in a net-like pattern.
