Question

Plants with tap roots have seeds with two cotyledons.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Angiosperms are classified into monocots and dicots based on the number of cotyledons present in the embryo. Monocots have a single cotyledon and dicots have two cotyledons. Angiosperms also show the presence of two types of root systems, the tap root and the fibrous root system. Dicots have a tap root system with a long, primary branch that grows deep into the soil and lateral roots arising from the sides of the tap root.
