Concept explainers
To identify:
Whether the shown micrograph is a section of a root or stem.
Introduction:
The one function of the stem in plants is to provide support and another function of it to provide the position to leaves for photosynthesis. The function of roots in a plant is the transportation of water and minerals, storage and food (in some plants) and it anchors it in the soil.
To determine:
Whether the given micrograph is showing the cross-section of a monocot or eudicot.
Introduction:
Inside a seed, within its embryo, a seed leaf is present that is known as cotyledon. The embryo of some plant’s seed has only one cotyledon, they are categorized as monocots. The examples of monocot seeds are rice, wheat and so on. Eudicots are the flowering plants in which seeds have two seed leaves.
