I'm working on a lab for an online class. I can't figure this question out: Roots that develop from nonroot tissues, such as nodes of stems, are called adventitious roots. Examples of adventitious roots include the prop roots of corn, as well as the aerial roots of ivy that attach this plant to such structures as stone walls. Name some adventitious roots on display. (Since this is online there are pictures attached with the parts of the lab to work with).

There are four pictures for this part of the lab; fibrous root system of an ornamental pepper, taproot system of dandelion, adventitious (prop) roots of corn, and food storage taproot of carrot

I'm guessing I must have to just give examples for this question, which I need help with.
