Parallel venation is not found in ______.

Answer 1

The correct option is D banyan

Venation is the arrangement of veins on the leaf. Parallel venation involves the veins running parallel to each other and is shown by leaves of monocot plants. For example - banana, grass, maize, wheat, etc.


Banyan tree or ficus shows reticulate venation. In this, the main vein divides into branches and form a net-like structure in the leaf lamina. This type of venation is usually seen in leaves of dicot plants.
