Solution
The correct option is D Starch sheath
The anatomy of monocot stem shows outer single layered epidermis with cuticle and stomata, sclerenchymatous hypodermis, large, wide parenchymatous ground tissue. In this vascular bundles are scatteredly arranged. So the stele is called Atactostele. Vascular bundles are outerly surrounded by sclerenchymatous fibres. So they are called fibrovascular bundles and are collateral, conjoint, closed with endarch xylem. Protoxylem lacuna is present. General cortex, endodermis, pericycle, medulla and medullary rays are absent.
So, the correct option is ‘Starch sheath’.
