There are many different types of specialised roots which have evolved in both trees and plants.
A tree or plant's roots can have functions apart from anchoring it and absorbing water and nutrients from the soil.

Tap root system

The first root produced from a seed is called the radicle. In many dicotyledonous plants this root greatly enlarges to become the most prominent root of the plant and is
known as a tap root. Many smaller branch roots may grow from the tap root.

Fibrous root system

In monocotyledonous plants, the radicle is short lived and is replaced by numerous roots of more or less equal size. These roots are adventitious which means they can grow from plant organs other than roots e.g. stems.

Tap and Fibrous seem to be the 2 classification but they are broken down into root/plant type classification as well.
Some of these are the Rhizome, bulbs
and tubers.
There is also a running rhizome/clum
these are on plants that spread example; running bamboo spreads and clumping bamboo does not.
