Question

Epidermis in stem is produced from

• A. Protoderm
• B. Procambium
• C. Ground meristem
• D. Calyptrogen

Answer 1

The correct option is A Protoderm

Primary growth initiated by apical meristems near tips of roots and shoots produce primary tissues that are partially differentiated into ground meristem that produce ground tissue protoderm that produce epidermis and procambium that produce primary vascular tissue. Protoderm lies around the outside of the stem and develops into the epidermis.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
