False chicory' s taproot is always one half as long as the plant is tall  Furthermore, the more rain false chicory receives, the taller it tends to grow
In fact, false chicory plants that receive greater than twice the average rainfall of the species' usual habitat always reach above-average heights for false chicory
If a false chicory plant receives greater than twice the average rainfall of the species'usual habitat, then it will have a longer taproot than that of an average-sized false chicory plant.
