Four radial vascular bundles are found in:

Correct answer: A. Dicot root

  • A. Dicot root
  • B. Monocot root
  • C. Dicot stem
  • D. Monocot stem

Explanation

The vascular tissue of the root is characterized by radial arrangement of vascular bundles i.e., xylem and phloem occur in separate patches on alternate radii. The number of xylem and phloem groups varies from two to six. But tetrarch condition (four vascular bundles) is more common. Monocot root generally has more than six vascular bundles (polyarch). Vascular bundles in dicot stems are conjoint, collateral or bicollateral, endarch, and open. They are arranged in a ring. In monocot stems the vascular bundles are conjoint, collateral, endarch, and closed. They are scattered in the ground tissue.
