Why are some roots called adventitious roots? What root system best adapted for anchorage? Why do you say so? Which among the root system is most advantageous to the plant? Explain your answer.
Which of the following is false? a. Stems have vascular bundles, and roots have vascular cylinders. b. Lateral roots can arise from nodes on a root. c. Primary growth (lengthening) can occur at an axillary bud. d. Apical meristem gives rise to epidermal tissue, ground tissue, and vascular tissue. e. Wood is xylem that forms during secondary growth
Which of the following statements are true for root endodermis?I. Endodermal cells constitute the innermost layer of root cortex and surrond the vascular cylinder (xylem and phloem). II.
