Adventitious Root
In some plants adventitious roots store food and become fleshy. They get swollen and assume following shapes:
1. Tuberous roots
These adventitious roots are without any shape e.g. sweet potato. Here adventitious roots arising from nodes. Some of these roots develop into root tubers.
2. Fasciculated roots
In some cases tuberous roots occur in clusters at the base of stem. They are known as fasciculated roots e.g. Dahlia, Asparagus etc.
3. Nodulous and beaded roots
When roots become swollen near tips, they are said to be Nodulous roots e.g. mango, ginger and turmeric.

When the swelling occurs at frequent intervals the roots are said to be beaded roots e.g. Momordica.
