Heterophylly in coriander or aquatic buttercup demonstrates
Adedifferentiation of mature xylem
Bphenotypic plasticity from environment
Csecondary growth in dicots
Ddeterminate growth of the root
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. phenotypic plasticity from environment
Heterophylly is the formation of different leaf shapes on the same plant in response to environment (e.g. underwater vs above water in coriander or buttercup). It shows phenotypic plasticity: identical genome, environment-dependent expression.
