Solution (By Examveda Team)

The root system of sugarcane consists of two types of roots that are selt roots and shoot roots. Both are of fibrous type. When sugarcane is planted in the soil every cane joint is activated and produces roots, these roots are selt roots and these are mostly temporary. The roots which are formed near the soil surface from the shoot are called shoot roots. These are permanent roots, are fleshy and white in colour.
