Select the incorrect statement w.r.t. monocot root.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Cambium develops at the time of secondary growth
Option C is correct because monocot roots do not undergo secondary growth, hence cambium does not develop.

A conjoint and open vascular bundle will be observed in the transverse section of?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Dicot stem
