Answer: 1. Fibrous roots

Key idea: Roots arising from the base of the stem are adventitious and, in monocots, form a fibrous root system.

In monocots such as wheat the primary root is short-lived and is replaced by many roots arising from the base of the stem: fibrous roots. Primary and lateral roots come from the radicle. Prop roots arise from branches or the stem above ground, not specifically the stem base.
