Question

Select the correct option:

Read the following statements.
(i) Multicellular epidermal hair
(ii) Collenchymatous hypodermis
(iii) Pith present
(iv) Vascular bundles present in a ring i.e., eustele
Above given features describe which of the following plant parts?

• A. Monocot stem
• B. Monocot root
• C. Dicot stem
• D. Dicot root

Answer 1

The correct option is C Dicot stem

The epidermis is the outermost layer of dicotstem with multi-cellular epidermal stem hairs ( protection and heat loss). Dicot stem hypodermis is a region lying immediately below the epidermis. It is represented by a few layers of collenchyma cells ( tissue strengthened by the thickening of cell walls) with angular thickenings.Dicot stems have a circular arrangement of vascular tissues with a Pith, or medulla, which is a tissue in the stems of vascular plants composed of soft, spongy parenchyma cells (store and transport nutrients throughout the plant) In eudicotyledons, pith is located in the center of the stem.

So, the correct answer is, 'Dicot stem'.
