D Correct answer
Explanation

Roots lack axillary buds, which are characteristic of stems. Roots have no nodes or internodes, no leaves, and no buds - these are stem features. Root hairs are present in the zone of maturation for water absorption. The absence of axillary buds is a key feature distinguishing roots from stems.
