Tuberous roots are found in
- Beta vulgaris
- Daucus carota
- Ipomoea batatas
- Raphanus sativus
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
In Beta vulgaris, the type of root present are napiform roots. It is like a top or sphere that thins abruptly at the apex. In it the swollen part is formed jointly by hypocotyl and tap root.
In Daucus carota, the tap root is like a cone being thickest towards the base and gradually tapering towards apex. Many thread like secondary roots are found throughout the length of conical fleshy root.
In Raphanus sativus, the root is in the form of spindle being thickest in the middle and narrowing towards both-apex and base.

Concepts Used:
Organisms and their Environments
Ecology is the branch of biology that involves the study of the interactions that takes place between an organism and its environment. Any biological organization consists of 4 levels, namely, Organisms, Populations, Biomes, and Communities.
Organisms:
An Organism is an attached living system that lives in an environment. They are able to retain specific behaviours and structure such as bacteria, fungi, plants, animals, and humans. A population is formed by the collection of all these organisms. The collection of population forms a community that helps in the operation of ecosystems.
Environment:
The study of the interaction of organisms in an area with the surrounding environment is Ecology. This interaction constitutes an overall adaptation of the organisms to their environment that also includes the continuity of species.
The environment comprises of both biotic (living things) and abiotic components (non-living things)
Food Chain:
Food Chain is the transfer of food energy from the plant source through a series of organisms that consume and are consumed.
Grass(Producer) → Deer(Herbivore) → Tiger(Carnivore), Grass(Producers) → Insect(Herbivores) → Frog(Carnivores) → Snake(Secondary Carnivore).
Food Web:
Food web is the interlocking pattern of multiple food chains in the ecosystem. In this, many food chains are interconnected and there are increased possibilities of eating and getting eaten by different organisms of various species.
