Question

The commercial jute fibres are obtained from [MP PMT 2004]
A) Interxylary fibres
B) Xylem fibers
C) Phloem fibers
D) None of these

Answer 1

Option C) Phloem fibres

Phloem fibres are used to make commercial jute fibres.

Describe fibres:

• The body is unable to digest fibre, which is a form of carbohydrate.
• Although fibre cannot be converted into glucose, the sugar that results from the breakdown of most carbs, fibre travels through the body undigested.

The phloem fibres:

• Phloem fibres are crucial components of plant architecture because they give phloem, in particular, and a plant as a whole mechanical strength and support.
• Many fiber crops have long, slender stems that are abundantly made with these fibres.
• The collenchymatous cells that makeup phloem or blast fibres.

For instance: Jute, Flex, and Hemp.
