A major characteristic of the monocot root is the presence of:
| 1. | Scattered vascular bundles |
| 2. | Vasculature without cambium |
| 3. | Cambium sandwiched between phloem and xylem along the radius |
| 4. | Open vascular bundles |
In the given diagram of a dicot root, the highlighted blue portion:
| I: | is the endodermis and is included in the stele |
| II: | is the pericycle and is included in the stele |
| 1. | Only I is correct |
| 2. | Only II is correct |
| 3. | Both I and II are correct |
| 4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
| 1. | Dicot stem, due to early disintegration of protoxylem elements |
| 2. | Monocot stem, resulting from the breakdown of protoxylem during development |
| 3. | Dicot root, due to radial arrangement of vascular tissues |
| 4. | Monocot root, due to presence of large pith |
