Most people associate syrup with the maple tree, and although much of todayâs syrup does originate from the sugar maple, all species of maple can be tapped. Even better, many other trees from other genera can be tapped to extract sap, which ultimately can be turned into delicious syrup.

The primary root which develops from a radicle and becomes dominant is called a taproot, as in carrot.
