Default Plants with the deepest root structure

Hi, this is my first post here, I'm having trouble finding some answer
to my questions and this seemed a pretty big and knowledgeable place.

I'm a 3rd year architecture student and currently on a project
designing an airship terminal, part of my terminal features the growth
of plants both small and big which have root structures that grow more
deeper vertically rather than horizontally.

Would anybody be able to throw some light on any species that I could
look at that have this characteristic?

Many thanks for any help.

Simon





You can search for "phreatophyte" to find a variety of plants that meet
your requirements.
