Goosegrass has what type of root system that makes it difficult to pull?

• A. Fibrous Root System
• B. Taproot System
• C. Rhizome-Driven System
• D. No Root System

Answer: (A)

Goosegrass has a fibrous root system, meaning it develops many thin roots that spread out in a dense, shallow mat from the base of the plant. This network grips the soil well and surrounds the crown, so when you pull, the plant resists extraction and root fragments often stay behind, helping the plant regrow. In contrast, a single main taproot would be easier to pull out, and rhizome-driven or non-root systems would behave differently in terms of removal. The extensive, fine-root mat is what makes goosegrass hard to pull.
