Answer 2

Collenchymatous hypodermis is characteristics of Dicot stem.

Option A

EXPLANATION:

• A dicot plant is one that has presence of two cotyledons but, it also has some structural differences with monocots.
• And, these differences are crucial for categorizing the plants into their different categories.
• For this if we cut the transverse section of a dicot stem then we will see that there will be epidermis along with the stem hairs, these hairs help in absorption of water and minerals.
• Then, we will find the cortex which is very distinctive due to presence of collenchymatous hypodermis which may be regular or maybe irregular in its shape.
• But, when a transverse section of monocot plant is observed there is no trace of collenchymatous hypodermis.
