In this work, we report the existence of nodal-arc, which acts as thebuilding block of all the nodal-rings in TaAs & TaP. This nodal-arc is found tobe capable of generating all the nodal-rings in these materials upon theapplication of space-group symmetry operations including time-reversalsymmetry. The arcs are obtained to be dispersive with the energy spread of$\sim$109 ($\sim$204) meV in TaAs (TaP). Also, the orbitals leading tobands-inversion and thus the formation of nodal-arcs are found to be Ta-5d &As-4p (P-3p) in TaAs (TaP). The area of nodal-rings is found to be highlysensitive to the change in hybridization-strength, where the increase inhybridization-strength leads to the decrease in the area of nodal-rings. In thepresence of spin-orbit coupling (SOC), all the points on these arcs getgaped-up and two pairs of Weyl-nodes are found to evolve from them. Out of thetwo pair, one is found to be situated close to the joining point of the twoarcs forming a ring. This causes the evolution of each nodal-ring into threepairs of Weyl-nodes. The coordinates of these Weyl-nodes are found to be robustto the increase in SOC-strength from $\sim$ 0.7-3.5 eV. All the results areobtained at the first-principle level. This work provides a clear picture ofthe existence of nodal-arc due to accidental degeneracy and its evolution intoWeyl-nodes under the effect of SOC.
