Among the following options, which one could be a monocot root?

Options

  1. AT.S. of Root with 2 Xylem bundles
  2. BT.S. of Root with 4 Xylem bundles
  3. CT.S. of Root with 8 Xylem Bundles
  4. DT.S. of Root without any Xylem Bundles

Correct answer

C. T.S. of Root with 8 Xylem Bundles

Step-by-step solution

The anatomy of the monocot root is similar to the dicot root in many respects. It has epidermis, cortex, endodermis, pericycle, vascular bundles and pith. As compared to the dicot root which have fewer xylem bundles, there are usually more than six (polyarch) xylem bundles in the monocot root. Pith is large and well developed. Monocotyledonous roots do not undergo any secondary growth.
