    Explanation
    The correct answer is "fibrous". A fibrous root system is a type of root system where the roots are thin, branching, and spread out in all directions. This type of root system is commonly found in monocot plants, such as grasses. The roots of a fibrous root system do not have a main central root, but rather a dense network of roots that help anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
