Match List I with List II : List I List II A Stele 1 Large, empty, colourless cells in grasses B Pericycle 2 Ground tissue of leaf possessing chloroplasts C Bulliform cells 3 All tissues on the inner side of endodermis D Mesophyll 4 Site of initiation of lateral roots Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Step-by-step solution

Stele comprises all the tissues present on the inner side of the endodermis, which includes the pericycle, vascular bundles, and pith. Thus, A matches 3. Pericycle is the layer of cells just inside the endodermis. In roots, the initiation of lateral roots and vascular cambium during secondary growth takes place in the pericycle cells. Thus, B matches 4. Bulliform cells are large, empty, colourless cells found in the adaxial epidermis of grasses (monocots) along the veins. They help in the rolling and unrolling of l
