Conjoint, collateral, closed and endarch vascular bundles scattered in the ground tissue are found in

• A. Dicot root
• B. Monocot root
• C. Dicot stem
• D. Monocot stem

Answer 1

The correct option is D Monocot stem

Conjoint, collateral, closed and endarch vascular bundles scattered in the ground tissue are found in monocot stem. In a monocotyledenous stem the vascular bundles are not arranged in a circle but are usually scattered throughout the ground tissue. There is no clearly defined pith as there is in many dicotyledonous species. The vascular bundles of monocotylenous plants do not contain a layer of meristematic tissue.
