NEET 2025 · BiologyStem T.S.Previous Year Question

Find the statement that is NOT correct with regard to the structure of monocot stem.

Answer: (C) Hypodermis is parenchymatous.. Answer: (C) Hypodermis is parenchymatous.

  1. A.Vascular bundles are conjoint and closed
  2. B.Phloem parenchyma is absent.
  3. C.Hypodermis is parenchymatous.✓
  4. D.Vascular bundles are scattered

Correct Answer

(C) Hypodermis is parenchymatous.

Solution & Explanation

Answer: (C) Hypodermis is parenchymatous. Solution: In the monocot stem the hypodermis is SCLERENCHYMATOUS, not parenchymatous, so statement (C) is the incorrect one. The other statements are correct features of the monocot stem: the scattered vascular bundles are conjoint and closed (no cambium) and phloem parenchyma is absent. NCERT Reference: NCERT Class XI, Ch 6 Anatomy of Flowering Plants, p.76, line ~14: "The monocot stem has a sclerenchymatous hypodermis, a large number of scattered vascular bundles, each surrounded by a sclerenchymatous bundle sheath... Vascular bundles are conjoint and closed... The phloem parenchyma is absent".
