Question

Is it possible for you to find out whether a plant has taproot or fibrous roots by looking at the impression of its leaf on a sheet of paper?

Answer in Brief

Solution

Yes. We can recognize leaves without seeing them. You can look for the type of roots of the plant and identify the type of leaf. If the plant has fibrous roots, then its leaves have parallel venation, and if the plant has taproots, then its leaves have reticulate venation.
