Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- The characteristic feature of monocot root is presence of vasculature without cambium. The vascular bundles are alternate and radial and arranged in the form of a ring around a central pith. Phloem and xylem bundles are separated by narrow strips called conjunctive tissue and it does not take part in cambium formation. So, the vascular bundles in monocots are closed and do not show any secondary growth.
