In a monocot root such as maize, the conjunctive tissue between the xylem and phloem is made of:
AParenchyma
BCollenchyma
CSclerenchyma
DChlorenchyma
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Sclerenchyma
1. The tissue lying between xylem and phloem is called conjunctive tissue.
2. In the monocot root this conjunctive tissue is made of sclerenchyma.
3. So sclerenchyma is correct.
4. In the dicot root it is parenchyma, which is the trap for those who confuse the two roots.
