Protoxylem

Vedclass · Answer

(C) In dicot stems and roots,secondary growth occurs,which makes them look similar in older stages. However,the arrangement of $Protoxylem$ remains a diagnostic feature. In the dicot stem,the $Protoxylem$ is located towards the center (endarch condition),whereas in the dicot root,the $Protoxylem$ is located towards the periphery (exarch condition). This difference persists even after secondary growth,making it the most reliable feature to distinguish between the two.
