Question

Give the exact location of the lenticels.

Answer 1

Lenticels:

1. A lenticel is a porous tissue made up of cells that have large intercellular gaps.
2. These are present in the roots of dicotyledonous flowering plants, the bark of woody stems, and the periderm of secondary thickening structures.
3. Air can enter the surviving root system through these small gaps in the bark.
4. Lenticels function as pores, permitting direct gas exchange between the ambient and internal tissues.
