Is it possible for you to find out whether a plant has taproot or fibrous roots by

looking at the impression of its leaf on a sheet of paper?  

 

Answer:

  Yes , we can identify the roots of the plants by looking at the impression of its leaf since

  1. A plant having a reticulate venation has tap roots.
  2. A plant having a parallel venation has fibrous roots.
