Taproot

Word of the Day

Taproot is a noun that refers to ‘the place of future development or growth.’

When used literally, a taproot simply refers to a root from a tree that grows vertically downward and creates more, smaller roots. Metaphorically, it can mean a place where growth has taken place.

For example: That section of town became a taproot for business in the city. After few businesses succeeded, others flocked there and also succeeded.
