Answer:

Fibrous Roots

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the bright green gelatinous leaves, enveloped in a fine layer of a yellow liquid or sap. Aloe Vera produces flowers and seeds from the same root structure year after year. The yellow to purplish drooping flowers grow in a long raceme at the top of the flower stalk. The fruit is a triangular capsule containing numerous seeds.

Taproots grows downward in a vertical direction. Plants like dandelions and vegetables like carrots and beets have this root.

Aloe vera does not have a taproot because they've got these shallow root systems that like to stretch out and don't do much downward exploration.
