Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Primary growth is the growth of the plant in length and is mainly contributed by the elongation of the stem and root. As a result of primary growth, the plant develops a long taproot and an extensive root system to anchor the plant and take in water and nutrients. Therefore, option C, "has an extensive root system," is the best choice. Options A and B are incorrect because primary growth does not necessarily determine the height or bushiness of a plant. Option D is incorrect because cork and wood are products of secondary growth, which occurs in woody plants.
