Question

'X' is a particular type of meristem that is found in monocot plants only. Which among the following could be 'X'?

• A. Intercalary meristem
• B. Lateral meristem
• C. Apical meristem
• D. Phloem

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Intercalary meristem

The group of cells that have the ability to divide continuously forms the meristematic tissue. They are found in all the growing parts of a plant where growth in length and thickness of a plant occurs. Intercalary meristem helps to increase the length of the stem. It is present at the base of the leaves or internodes (on either side of the node). It is found only in monocots.
