For example, plants like beans, carrot, hibiscus, beetroot, mustard and balsam have tap roots. Tap root is a thick main root below the stem that goes deep into the soil and several thinner side roots grow from the main root.

The Shoot: t grows above the soil is called the shoot. Stem, branches, leaves, flowers and fruits are all part of shoot.
