Question

Lateral roots develop from the root cortex. TRUE OR FALSE

Answer 1

The lateral roots in a plant actually start to develop in the pericycle which is basically the outermost layer of the cell in the vascular cylinder.

The process of the lateral roots development happens in three stages.

These three steps refer as initiation, organisation and lastly emergence. It is quite hard to differentiate between these steps.

During the formation of the lateral roots they get stimulated by the auxin and other sort of growth regulators.
