Answer: Onion
Notes: A fibrous root system is characteristic of grasses and other monocotyledons like onions. Unlike in the taproot system of dicotyledonous plants where one major root originates from the stem and smaller roots arise off of this taproot, in a fibrous root system many equally sized roots arise off of the stem. These types of roots cover a larger surface area and are therefore better at absorbing nutrients and water from the soil.
