(N/A) No,the girdling (or ring) experiment is not possible in monocotyledons. This is because the vascular bundles in the stems of monocotyledons are scattered throughout the ground tissue rather than being arranged in a ring. Since the phloem is distributed within these scattered bundles,it is impossible to remove a continuous ring of phloem without damaging the entire stem,which is necessary to demonstrate the translocation of food.
