Answer 2

Answer:

Option D is the correct answer. If the heart wood region of plant is removed or decays, neither root nor shoot will die.

Explanation:

• Heartwood is the central, thick and dark region of a tree trunk.
• When the xylem which is present on the inner part of the tree, looses the capacity to transmit water during ages, then that part forms the heartwood.
• Heartwood therefore is responsible for mechanical support of the plant.
• It has excellent strength and can be used for furniture making.
• The removal or decay of heartwood will not affect the root or shoot of the plant as the functional xylem and phloem are present fairly towards the outer layers than the heartwood.

Hence, option D is the correct answer. Neither root nor shoot will die upon removal or decay of heartwood.
