Question

Which of the following statements describes monocotyledons?

• A. They have fibrous roots
• B. Their leaves have parallel venation
• C. Their seeds have only one cotyledon
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All of the above

The monocotyledonous plants have the adventitious or the fibrous type of root system that do not grow much deeper but spread in the region widely to provide support the plant.

Parallel venation is where the secondary veins run parallel to each other and are connected laterally by the minute and straight veinlets. This type of venation is mostly seen in monocots. They show the presence of a single cotyledon.

Thus the correct answer is option D.
