Anatomy of Dicotyledonous and Monocotyledonous Plants

Question

Choose the incorrect statement

Easy

A

Monocot roots have more medulla than dicot roots
B

Monocot roots show polyarch condition but not dicot roots
C

Pericycle of monocot roots does not give rise lateral roots but dicot root pericycle forms lateral roots.
D

Conjunctive tissue of dicot root forms vascular cambium but not monocot root.

Solution

Both monocot and dicot root pericycle can form lateral roots. Monocot roots have extensive medulla compared to dicot root. Monocot roots have more than six vascular bundles (Polyarch) where as dicot roots usually have two to four vascular bundles (diarch to tetrarch) condition. Vascular cambium is formed by pericycle and conjunctive tissue of dicot root but not by monocot root.
