Solution

The correct option is B Dicot root
Epiblema is epidermal layer of dicot root. Epiblema is the outermost covering of the root formed by a single layer of compactly arranged, barrel-shaped parenchyma cells. The cells are characteristically thin-walled since, they are involved in absorption of water. A cuticle and stomata are absent. Some of the epiblema cells are produced into long unicellular projections called as root hairs. Hence, epiblema is also known as piliferous layer.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
