Identify the incorrect statement regarding the secondary growth seen in plants:
 
1. Secondary growth does not occur in monocotyledons
2. The cells of secondary cortex are parenchymatous
3. Bark refers to all the tissues exterior to the vascular cambium, therefore it does not include secondary phloem
4. In the dicot root, the vascular cambium originates from the tissue located just below the phloem bundles, a portion of pericycle tissue, above the protoxylem forming a complete and continuous wavy ring, which later becomes circular

One important difference between the anatomy of roots and the anatomy of leaves is that
1. only leaves have phloem and only roots have xylem.
2. root cells have cell walls and leaf cells do not.
3. a waxy cuticle covers leaves but is absent from roots.
4. vascular tissue is found in roots but is absent from leaves
