WHAT DOES TAPROOT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

taproot

Taproot

A taproot is a very large, somewhat straight to tapering plant root that grows downward. It forms a center from which other roots sprout laterally. Plants with taproots are difficult to transplant. The presence of a taproot is why dandelions are hard to uproot—the top is pulled, but the long taproot stays in the ground, and resprouts. In some plants, such as the carrot, the edible taproot has been cultivated for size and palatability. The taproot system contrasts with the fibrous root system with many branched roots.

Definition of taproot in the English dictionary

The definition of taproot in the dictionary is the large single root of plants such as the dandelion, which grows vertically downwards and bears smaller lateral roots.
