Taproot

A taproot is a large, central, and dominant root from which other roots sprout laterally and horizontally. Typically, a taproot is somewhat straight and very thick, is tapering in shape, and grows straight down. In some plants, such as the carrot, the taproot is a storage organ so well developed that it has been cultivated as a vegetable.
