Diffused roots

When a primary root branches quickly into many slender roots it develops a diffused or fibrous root system. There may be several main roots which are about equal in diameter and have many branching root systems. When the length of all of the roots and rootlets are added together, a mature well-developed plant such as a native prairie grass plant, may have a root length of thousands of miles.
