Solution

The correct option is A 5
Dicot roots have xylem in the center of the root and phloem outside the xylem. Phloem is surrounded by the pericycle followed by endodermis. Pericycle is made up parenchyma cells and sclerenchyma cells.
The cortex is the outer most layer of the dicot root. Cortex is made up of epithelium cells. Pith is absent in it. Hence, total 5 types of tissues are present within dicot root.
Thus, the correct answer is '5.'
