Default Cycads for beginners - roots

Sorry for such a basic question, but what is the root system of a cycad like? Looking at the photos of the z. psuedoparastica with that long taproot, is the whole root system based on a singular taproot? Are they lots of little roots at the base of the caudex too? What size pot do they need, and are they fussy about transplanting in the ground?
