Step 1
Step 1: Recall the typical radial arrangement of tissues in a dicot root from outside to center: epidermis → cortex → endodermis → pericycle → vascular tissues (xylem and phloem); pith is usually absent in dicot roots. Show more…

I. Cortex is made up of several layers of thin-walled parenchyma cells with intercellular spaces. II. Endoderm is made up of single layer of barrel-shaped cells without any intercellular spaces. III. Few layers of thick-walled parenchymatous cell forms pericycle. IV. Pith is small or inconspicuous. V. Conjuctive tissue present is 2 to 4 xylem and phloem patches. (a) Dicot root (b) Dicot stem (c) Monocot root (d) Monocot stem
EXPERIMENT 3: Is the first or second image a correctly labeled eudicot root cross section?
