Dicot root and dicot stem
Well developed pith or parenchymatous central region is present in monocot root (maize) and dicot stem (Sunflower). Its a structure of loosely arrannged cells that embeds vascular tissue, it may store food.
Polyarch condition is found in
-
Monocot root
-
Dicot root
-
Monocot stem
-
Dicot stem
Monocot root vascular bundles are radial in arrangement. There are eight bundles each of xylem and phloem. Hence, the condition is described as polyarch. Xylem is described as exarch in monocot root.
Passage cells are more distinct in endodermis of

Monocot root
Passage cells are endodermal cells of older roots, which have retained thin walls and Casparian strips rather than becoming suberized and waterproof like the other cells around them, to continue to allow some symplastic flow to the inside.

Eustele is characteristic of
-
Monocots
-
Dicots
-
Pteridophytes
-
Bryophytes
Eustele - In this arrangement, the primary vascular tissue consists of vascular bundles, usually in one or two rings around the pith. In addition to being found in stems, the eustele appears in the roots of monocot flowering plants. The vascular bundles in a eustele can be collateral with the phloem on only one side of the xylem or bicollateral with phloem on both sides of the xylem, as in some Solanaceae. So, eustele is the characteristic of monocots and absent in dicots, pteridophytes and bryophytes.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
Two cross-sections of stem and root appear similar, when viewed by naked eye. But under microscope, they can be differentiated by
-
Exarch condition of root and stem
-
Endarch condition of stem and root
-
Endarch condition of root and exarch condition stem
-
Endarch condition of stem and exarch condition of root
Endarch is the arrangement in which the protoxylem is directed towards the centre and metaxylem elements towards the periphery. The development of the xylems in this arrangement follows the centrifugal pattern. It is the characteristics of the stem of flowering plants.
An example of monocot, fibre yielding plant is
-
Cocos
-
Corchorus
-
Clematis
-
Crotalaria
Cocos nucifera, the coconut palm, is a monocot perennial member of the Arecaceae (palm family), cultivated in tropical areas worldwide for its fruit and fiber. Coir is a natural fibre extracted from the husk of coconut and used in products such as floor mats, doormats, brushes, mattresses, etc. Coir is the fibrous material found between the hard, internal shell and the outer coat of a coconut. Other uses of brown coir are in upholstery padding, sacking and horticulture. Thus, option A is correct.
Centripetal xylem is found in
-
Leaf
-
Root
-
Dicot stem
-
Monocot stem
Development of xylem from the periphery to the centre is called centripetal xylem. It is found in roots.
So, the correct option is ‘root’.
Polyarch and exarch condition is found in
-
Monocot stem
-
Monocot root
-
Dicot stem
-
Dicot root
Monocot root vascular bundles are radial in the arrangement. There are eight types of bundles each of xylem and phloem. Thus the condition is described as the polyarch. Xylem is detailed as an exarch.
Monocot stem vascular bundles are many in number and the xylem is the endarch.
Dicot stem vascular bundles are also eight in number but arranged in the form of a broken ring. The vascular bundles are conjoint, collateral and open. Xylem is on the inner surface and phloem on the outer surface. Xylem is described as an endarch.
Dicot root vascular bundles are described as radial and tetrarch. There are four bundles each of xylem and phloem occurring alternately. Xylem is described as an exarch.
So, the correct answer is 'Monocot root'
So, the correct answer is B.
In roots, lateral branches grow from.
-
Epiblema
-
Pericycle
-
Cortex
-
Endodermis
A. Epiblema – root epidermis with root hairs is called epiblema
B. Pericycle – outer most part of the stele in roots and dicot stem, produces lateral branches
C. Cortex – middle of root and dicot stem internally
D. Endodermis – inner most part of the cortex
So, the correct option is ‘Pericycle'
