Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Petiole and internodes
- The intercalary meristem is the meristems present at the base of the internodes stem or leaf.
- It helps in the elongation and growth of the plants at the nodes and internodes (stems and leaves) and also enables the longitudinal growth of the stem and leaves (grasses).
- In monocots, the intercalary meristems are present at the base of the leaf primordium.
- It allows the petiole to extend the leaves above the water surface.
- This increase in the length of the petiole is due to the activity of the intercalary meristems.
- So, the correct answer is 'Petiole and internodes'
