You will need the alleged father (your ex-husband) to test along with your sisterâs older son in order to determine paternity through a DNA paternity test. If you would like to determine siblingship, you can take a sibling test (testing your daughter and your sisterâs older son).
The Advantages of the Fibrous Root & Taproot Systems. Fibrous roots branch from the plant's base, and taproots go straight down. Unseen and buried beneath the soil, plant roots perform functions that are necessary to a plant's life. The roots collect water and nutrients for the plant and secure it to the soil. Two basic types of root systems exist. One type is the taproot, which grows vertically and has lateral branches. The other type has fibrous, branching roots that make a network close to the soil surface. Some plants have either a taproot or fibrous roots, and other plants combine the two systems.
Because palms tend to have heavy fronds and trunks, the numerous roots act both as anchors and feeders to sustain the growing plant -- even trees taller than 50 feet do not use a taproot system that is common in other tree species. The thin roots stretch away from the trunk in search of moisture and nutrients.
