Answer
Dahlia
Explanation
Solution
In Dahlia, roots do not originate from radicles and are therefore, adventitious. These roots are fleshy having no definite shape, i.e. tuberous in nature. The tuberous roots occur in group or fascicle and are also called fasciculated. Roots of radish, carrot and beet that originate from radicle are the examples of modified tap root.
