Wood parenchyma is formed from
a) Fusiform initials
b) Ray initials
c) Collenchymas cells
d) All of these​

Answer 1

Explanation:

a) Fusiform initials......

Answer 2

The correct answer is option (a) Fusiform initials.

• Wood parenchyma is formed from fusiform initials.
• The fusiform initials are elongated tapering cells that give rise to all cells of the vertical system of the secondary phloem and xylem (secondary tracheary elements, fibres, and sieve cells and the associated companion cells).
• The parenchyma cells in wood survive and keep their physiological activity for a long time.
