Question

is xylem in leaves endarch or exarch

Answer 1

Xylem means the dermal tissue in plants. Which is useful to transfer food and nutrients from the roots to all the parts of the plants.

Answer 2

ANSWER :-

In stem, the xylem is endarch or centrifugal and the type of xylem remains the same whether it is in the stem or the leaves so, the xylem in leaves is endarch which means that the protoxylem (the xylem that formed first), is found lying towards the centre.

Extra Information-

• The centre is also known as the pith.

• The central column of axis (including the root and the stem) is called stele, which is made up of a number of vascular bundles, which constitute the vascular tissue system.
• The vascular bundle consists of xylem, phloem and cambium.
• The cambium is not present in all cases but it is considered to be a part of the vascular bundle in cases where it is present.
• The xylem may either be endarch or exarch.
• In roots, the xylem is exarch or centripetal, which means that the protoxylem (the xylem that formed first), is found lying towards the periphery.
