- Marigolds ( Tagetes sp. )
- Wheat
- Barley

In general, the fibrous root system is characteristic of the vast majority of monocotyledons . Among the dicotyledonous, the fibrous root system is, for example, in plantain. In many dicotyledonous plants (creeping clover. Creeping buttercup, creeping tenacity, strawberry, etc.), the fibrous root system develops in plants resulting from vegetative propagation by whiskers, rhizomes, leaves, etc.
