Default corn - shallow root or tap?

I recall someone mentioning here that corn is shallow rooted. I was
just getting rid of some sprouts that were unnecessary. While the
above ground was about 2' to 2.5" tall each had one large root that
went down 6-7". I was actually surprised to see such a deep root in
just 14 days after sowing seeds.

Is that what is referred to a tap root, or does a tap root have some
scientific definition that is based upon plant types.
