Can you categorize he roots of a plant into tap root and a fibrous root without uprooting it? If yes, explain how?

If the leaves of the plant show PARALLEL VERNATION (veins are arranged parallel to each other and never join, no bramching is sees in the veins) then the plant is MONOCOT and will have FIBROUS ROOTS

 

if the leaves show RETICULATE VENATION(veins are arranged in a net like pattern on both sides of the midrib) then it is a DICOT PLANT and has TAP ROOTS

 

Hope this helps.
