The presence of protoxylem lacuna is considered a characteristic anatomical feature of:
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
