Question

Distinguish the anatomy of dicot roots from monocot roots.

Answer 1

The monocot is the plant that has only one cotyledon in the embryo, whereas dicot is the plant that has two cotyledons in the embryo. Monocots and dicots differ from each other in four structures: leaves, stems, roots and flowers. Here we'll be differentiating it between the roots of the monocot and dicot plant.

Answer 2

-In monocot roots, the pericycle present only produces the lateral roots, whereas, in dicot roots, the pericycle gives rise to lateral roots, cork cambium, and the part of the vascular cambium.
-In monocot roots, the xylem and phloem are numerous in numbers. On the other hand, in dicot roots, the xylem and phloem are limited in numbers
-.The Pith is absent in the dicot root, whereas in monocot root it is large and well developed.
-The secondary growth occurs in the dicot root, although it is absent it in the case monocot root.
