Assertion(A): The meristematic tissue called cork cambium or phellogen develops in the cortex region of monocot stems.
Reason(R): The activity of vascular cambium causes the shedding of cortical and epidermis layers in the dicot stem.
Choices for Assertions and reasons:
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true, but (R) is false.
4. (A) is false, but (R) is true.
