Select the incorrect statement regarding the anatomy of a typical monocotyledonous stem

APhloem parenchyma is absent.
BVascular bundles are scattered, conjoint, collateral and closed
CEach vascular bundle is surrounded by a bundle sheath.
DGround tissue is differentiated into cortex, endodermis, pericycle and pith
Correct Answer

Solution

In a monocot stem (Example Maize), the stem is differentiated into Epidermis, hypodermis and ground tissue. In the ground tissue are embedded vascular bundles that are conjoint, colateral and closed.The vascular bundles are not enclosed by endodermis and pericycle.
So, the correct answer is 'Ground tissue is differentiated into cortex, endodermis, pericycle and pith'
