Answer 1

Answer:

Both (A) and (B) are correct.

Answer 2

Both a and b are the correct options.

Explanation:

• The pericycle provides mechanical strength to the plant. The thicker the pericycle is the more mechanical strength the plant can withstand.

• Pericycle gives rise to the lateral roots. This in turn gives rise to more mechanical strength to plants.  Strong  plants are those in which there is extensive growth of the pericycle.

• They also protect the vascular bundles.
