Question

State whether the following statements are true or false:
In the vascular bundle of leaf, xylem is located towards the adaxial side of the leaf.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Leaf has epidermis on both of its surfaces. The photosynthetic tissue of a leaf is sandwiched between its upper and lower epidermis and is well supplied by the vascular system. In a leaf, xylem always faces the upper epidermis i.e. the adaxial side while phloem faces both upper as well as lower epidermis.

Hence, the correct answer is 'True'
