Definitions / Explanation :
$(i)$ Conjoint vascular bundles
$(ii)$ Secondary growth
$(i)$ The vascular bundle in which xylem tissue and phloem tissue are arranged together, such a vascular bundle is called conjoint vascular bundle.
$(ii)$ In most of the dicot plants, after completion of primary growth due to formation of secondary tissue, the increase in girth is called secondary growth.
The transverse section of a plant material shows the following anatomical features, $(a)$ the vascular bundles are conjoint, scattered and surrounded by clerenchymatous undle sheaths $(b)$ phloem parenchyma is absent. What will you identify it as?
Assertion : In collateral vascular bundles, phloem is situated towards inner side.
Reason : In monocot stem, cambium is present
Pericycle of the roots is never sclerenchymatous because it
Sclerenchyma usually_______ and ________ protoplasts.
