Monocot root has : |
Cambium ring, vascular bundles two to four, pith is small and well developed Large pith, polyarch xylem, no secondary growth Usually more than six xylem bundles, pith is small or inconspicuous, conjuctive tissue Both B and C |
Large pith, polyarch xylem, no secondary growth |
The correct answer is Option (2) -Large pith, polyarch xylem, no secondary growth The anatomy of the monocot root is similar to the dicot root in many respects . It has epidermis, cortex, endodermis, pericycle, vascular bundles and pith. As compared to the dicot root which have fewer xylem bundles, there are usually more than six (polyarch) xylem bundles in the monocot root. Pith is large and well developed.
