Question

Which among the following properties are not shown by the roots?

• A. Distinction of primary and secondary roots
• B. Distinction of nodes and internodes
• C. Tertiary roots and rootlets
• D. Presence of leaves

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

The correct options are
B Distinction of nodes and internodes
D Presence of leaves

Roots do not show the distinction between nodes and internodes. They do not bear leaves. Roots have endogenous primary secondary and tertiary roots and rootlets.

So, the correct option is 'Distinction of nodes and internodes' and 'Presence of leaves'.
