what type of root systems do carrots have?

Answer 1

A Carrot (Daucus carota) is a root vegetable, usually orange or white in color.

The edible part of a carrot is a taproot.

It is a biennial plant which grows a rosette of leaves in the spring and summer while building up the stout taproot,

which stores large amounts of sugars for the plant to flower in the second year.

The flowering stem grows to about 1 meter tall, with umbels of white flowers.( Note that this length is achieved only at the time of flowering. Other wise stem part is insignificant.)
