In which of the following plants do roots arise from parts of a plant other than the radicle?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Monstera.
In Monstera, roots arise from stems instead of the radicle, making them adventitious roots. These help in support, nutrient absorption, and attachment to surfaces. Common in epiphytic plants, adventitious roots allow Monstera to thrive in tropical environments by climbing and spreading efficiently.
