Question 1

Which of the following combination of features would you observe in grass?
(a) Parallel venation and fibrous root.
(b) Parallel venation and taproot.
(c) Reticulate venation and fibrous root.
(d) Reticulate venation and taproot.

Answer 1

Option (a).

Grass has fibrous roots which are bushy roots in which thin, moderately branching roots grow from the stem. The plants having fibrous roots are more likely to have parallel venation in which the veins are parallel to one another. Therefore, grass has parallel venation and fibrous root.
