Four radial vascular bundles are found in : -
- Monocot stem
- Dicot stem
- Dicot root
- Monocot root
Answer
(3) Dicot root
Solution
In roots, xylem and phloem lie on different radii alternately, i.e. the vascular bundles are radial; stems have conjoint bundles.
As per NCERT, the dicot root has two to four xylem and phloem patches, while the monocot root usually has more than six xylem bundles (polyarch).
⇒ Four radial bundles (tetrarch condition) are therefore found in the dicot root.
