I believe that basil has more of a ball root - very fibrous as opposed to a tap root -like a thistle. Tap roots have the ability to reach deep down in the earth to draw moisture and nutrients and are hard to pull up. Basil is normally a short lived plant and requires frequent watering (in the summer)
