Root cap in mono cots is formed by

Answer 1

Answer :-

Root cap in monocots is formed by "Dermatogens".

Extra Information :-

• Dermatogen is the histogen or meristematic regions of root and stem which is produced by apical meristem and give rise to uniseriate epidermis by anticlinal divisions.

• Monocotyledons have one additional histogen along with dermatogens, periblem and plerome Calyptrogen being the fourth one that makes root cap.

• The vascular cambium, also called as wood cambium, has thin walled highly vacuolated cells of two types, the fusiform initials and the ray initials.

• The fusiform initials are the elongated cells that give rise to secondary xylem and secondary phloem.

• Ray initials are horizontally organized and produce vascular rays (medullary rays or ray parenchyma).
