2.Lenticels 3.Root pores​

Answer 1

Answer:

2.Lenticels are present in the woody stems of dicotyledonous flowering plants.

3.The roots pores of a plant are the part that are usually buried in the soil. Roots are usually always under the soil, though–sometimes roots can be above the ground. This is called an aerial root.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

lenticels :The lenticels found on the epidermis of different plant organs (stem, petiole, fruits) made up of parenchymatous cells are pores that always remain open, in contrast to stomata, which regulate their extent of opening. Lenticels are visible on fruit surfaces, such as mango, apple, and avocado. Lenticels permit the exchange of gases between the environment and the internal tissue spaces of the organs (stems and some fruits) (Fig. 6.2). They permit the entrance of oxygen and simultaneously the output of carbon dioxide and water vapor. In apple fruit, lenticels account for up to 21% of the transpiration.

root pores :Root pores are formed by compressing the soil matrix radially as the root pushes through the soil and then their walls are stabilized through mucilage (Gray and Lissmann, 1938; Greacen and Oh, 1972; Greacen and Sands, 1980; Czarnes et al., 2000; Ruiz et al., 2017)
