Q18 / 180 · NEET 2015 (Phase 1) · Botany

A major characteristic of the monocot root is the presence of:

  • A
    Open vascular bundles
  • B
    Scattered vascular bundles
  • Correct answer
    C
    Vasculature without cambium
  • D
    Cambium sandwiched between phloem and xylem along the radius
