Find the statement that is NOT correct with regard to the structure of monocot stem.

  1. A

    Phloem parenchyma is absent.

  2. B

    Hypodermis is parenchymatous.

  3. C

    Vascular bundles are scattered.

  4. D

    Vascular bundles are conjoint and closed.

In a typical monocot stem:

  • The hypodermis is sclerenchymatous (not parenchymatous), giving mechanical support.
  • Phloem parenchyma is absent.
  • Vascular bundles are scattered throughout the ground tissue.
  • Vascular bundles are conjoint, collateral and closed (lack cambium).
