Question:

As compared to a dicot root, a monocot root has: Inconspicuous annual rings, Many xylem bundles, Relatively thicker periderm, More abundant secondary xylem.

Many xylem bundles.

Inconspicuous annual rings.

Relatively thicker periderm.

More abundant secondary xylem.

Solution:

Dicot root is diarch to hexarch (no. of vascular bundle is 2 to 6), while in monocot polyarch (no. of vascular bundle is numerous, i.e., 8 to many) condition is present. So, monocot root has many xylems and phloems in comparison with the dicot root. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
