Statement 2- Parallel venation is found in plants that have a taproot system.

• C. True, False
• D. False, False

Answer 1

The correct option is C True, False

The loss of water in the form of vapour from the aerial parts(leaves and stem) of the plant is called transpiration. This helps in the movement of water throughout the plant and also to get rid of excess water.
Arrangement of veins and veinlets on the surface of the leaf is called venation.
Plants with reticulate venation have a taproot system and the plants with fibrous root system have parallel venation.
