Question

Which of the following is not a character of dicot root?

• A. Radial vascular bundle
• B. Secondary growth
• C. Pith less developed or absent
• D. Vascular bundles $15-20$

Answer 1

The correct option is D Vascular bundles $15-20$

Dicot root vascular bundles are described as radial and tetrarch. There are four bundles each of xylem and phloem occurring alternately. Xylem is described as exarch. Pith is absent in older dicot roots. Vascular bundles are four in number. Thus, option D is correct.
