Read the following statements and find out the incorrect statement about monocot stem.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) -Each vascular bundle surrounded by a parenchymatous bundle sheath.
The monocot stem has a sclerenchymatous hypodermis, a large number of scattered vascular bundles, each surrounded by a sclerenchymatous bundle sheath, and a large, conspicuous parenchymatous ground tissue . Vascular bundles are conjoint and closed. Peripheral vascular bundles are generally smaller than the centrally located ones. The phloem parenchyma is absent, and water-containing cavities are present within the vascular bundles.
