Fibrous root       Adventitious root
The primary root is replaced by a large number of roots at the base of the stem to constitute the fibrous roots.

The roots that arise from any part of the plant apart from the radicle are called adventitious roots.

Examples of fibrous roots include wheat, rice etc. Examples of plants with adventitious roots include grass, banyan trees, maize etc.
