The plant develops deep, slender, black roots
No, fibrous roots are shallow and spread out horizontally near the surface of the soil. They do not penetrate deep into the ground.
Oak tree roots typically grow deep into the ground, ranging from 3 to 7 feet deep. However, their lateral roots can extend even farther, spreading out up to 4 times the tree's canopy width. The depth and spread of oak tree roots can vary based on soil conditions, available water, and other environmental factors.
Taproots are roots that grow straight down deep into the ground. They anchor the plant and help it access deep water sources and nutrients. Examples of plants with taproots include carrots and dandelions.
Most plants have roots that grow both vertically and horizontally to varying degrees. However, taproots such as carrots and radishes primarily grow downwards, as do fibrous roots of grasses. Deep-rooted plants like oak trees and dandelions also have roots that grow predominantly downwards.

Fibrous roots are shallow and spread out horizontally in the soil to absorb water and nutrients efficiently. They do not typically grow deep into the soil compared to taproots.

The depth to which tree roots grow varies widely and depends on the kind of tree and the soil in which it is rooted, among other things.
