Question

If you were given a cylindrical structure cut from part of a plant, how could you tell whether it was a piece of stem or a piece of root:
a) with the naked eye
b) with the aid of a microscope or hand lens?

Answer 1

Answer:

B)

Explanation:

Since you can't exactly determine the external look of root and stem, although they are different at first sight, a microscope is the best way to identify this, as the cell structures are different.
