Plants present in arid regions modify their stem to form flattened and leaf-like cylindrical fleshy structure called a phylloclade. These structures are usually green in colour because they have photosynthetic pigment present in them. These structures have unlimited growth.
Answer:
Fleshy cylindrical phylloclade is found in cactus.
Explanation:
Cladodes (also called cladophylls or phylloclades) are shoot systems in which leaves do not develop; rather, the stems become flattened and assume the photosynthetic functions of the plant. In asparagus (Asparagus officinalis; Asparagaceae), the scales found on the asparagus spears are the true leaves.
Phylloclades and cladodes are flattened, photosynthetic shoots, which are usually considered to be modified branches. The two terms are used either differently or interchangeably by different authors.
