Question

Roots are distinguishable from stem-

• A. Having a root cap
• B. Having root hairs
• C. Absence of nodes and internodes
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

On the basis of the root and stem structural characteristics, root is different from stem because root has root cap at the tip, area of growth and area of root hair, branching zone whereas stem lacks these sections but they have nodes and internodes present on them as well as they have axillary and apical buds which are not present in the roots.

Thus, the correct answer is 'All of the above.'
