In the dicot root the number of xylem and phloem patches is
- Always more than twenty bundles
- Usually two to four (oligoarch)
- Usually more than six (polyarch)
- Always a single bundle pair
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: B. Usually two to four (oligoarch)
Dicot roots are typically diarch to tetrarch (2-4 xylem patches).
Monocot roots are polyarch (more than six).
Pith is small in dicot roots, large in monocot roots.
