A fibrous root system (sometimes also called adventitious root system) is the opposite of a taproot system. It is usually formed by thin, moderately branching roots growing from the stem. A fibrous root system is universal in monocotyledonous plants and ferns. Grass, bamboo, banana, rice, wheat, and most of the plants with monocotyledons have fibrous root system.

Pineapple is a perennial monocotyledonous plant having a terminal inflorescence and a terminal multiple fruit. The vegetative meristem produces leaves which becomes and inflorescence meristem. The Pineapple inflorescence contains many small flowers. Each flower has a prominent Bract. The Inflorescence Meristem which produces the Secondary Floral Meristem can revert to a Vegetative Meristem and can produce Leaves instead of Bracts. This forms the "crown" of the Pineapple and can be used to grow a new plant.
Correct Option: C
