Anatomically fairly old dicotyledonous root is distinguished from the dicotyledonous stem by :

1. Absence of secondary phloem
2. Presence of cortex

The length of different internodes in a culm of sugarcane is variable because of:

1. shoot apical meristem
2. position of axillary buds
3. size of leaf lamina at the node below each internode
4. intercalary meristem

Passage cells are thin-walled cells found in:-

1. Endodermis of roots facilitating rapid transport of water from cortex to pericycle
2. Testa of seeds to enable emergence of growing embryonic axis during seed germination.
3. Phloem elements that serve as entry points for substances for transport to other plant parts
4. Central region of style through which the pollen tube grows towards the ovary.
