The various forms of the root are naturally and conve- niently referred to these two modes of development. The principal axial forms are the ramose, fusiform, napiform, conical. To all these forms the general name, tap-rooty is applied. 125. The ramose is the woody tap-root of most trees and shrubs, where the main root blanches extensively, and is finally dissolved and lost in multiplied ramifications. 126. Tuberous tap-roots. In herbaceous plants the tap-root often becomes thick and fleshy, with comparatively few branches. This ten- dency is peculiarly marked in biennials (§ 90), where the root serves aa a reservoir of the superabundant food which the plant accumulates dui-ing its first year's growth, and keeps in store against the exhausting process of fruit-bearing in its second year. Such is 127. The fusiform (spindle-shaped) root, thick, succulent, tapering downwards, also for a short space upwards.
