I believe the answer is:

taproot

(Other definitions for taproot that I've seen before include "Part of plant growing down vertically" , "Main underground part of plant" , "Plant's main source of nourishment" , "Main part of plant in earth" , "infrastructure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
