Question

Grafting is successful in dicots but not in monocots because the dicots have

• A. Vascular bundles arranged in a ring
• B. Vessels with elements arranged end to end
• C. Cork cambium
• D. Cambium for secondary growth

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Cambium for secondary growth

The cambium possesses the ability to form secondary xylem and phloem. It is present in dicots and absent in monocots. In case of grafting, it is very important that the plant should form primary and secondary tissue for its survival. Hence, grafting is successful in dicots.
