Monocots are usually small herbaceous plants, so they do not need tap roots to support and grow deep in search of minerals and water. Fibrous roots are enough for them to supply water and minerals. While the dicots?can grow into large trees and hence they have tap roots that provide them enough support and grow deep in search of enough?water and minerals.
