Cortex and pith are not distinguished in
The ground tissues in dicot stem are well differentiated into cortex, endodermis, pericycle and pith but are undifferentiated in monocot stem. Dicot stem has pith with thin walled parenchymatous cells but monocot stem lacks it. Primary dicot root has no or reduced pith, whereas a large pith, sometimes sclerenchymatous, is present in the monocot root.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
