Jeremy is observing a cross-section of a corn stem under the microscope. He observes that there is no vascular cambium present in this stem. Why is there no vascular cambium in corn stems?
Α.
Vascular cambium is an apical meristematic tissue that is responsible for increasing the height of the plant, which is not
observed in monocots such as corn.
B.
Vascular cambium is a lateral meristematic tissue that is responsible for thickening of the plant, which is not observed in
monocots such as corn.
C.
Vascular cambium is an apical meristematic tissue that is responsible for thickening of plant, which is not observed in
monocots such as corn.
