Answer 2

Normally maize plants have three types of roots

Step-by-step explanation:

1. seminal roots – which develop from radical and persist for long period;
2. adventitious roots, fibrous roots developing from the lower nodes of stem below ground level which are the effective and active roots of plant
3. brace or prop roots, produced by the lower two nodes. The roots grow very rapidly and almost equally outwards and downwards. Suitable soils may allow corn root growth up to 60 cm laterally and in-depth.
