Which of the following is a part of apical meristem found in roots?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Protoderm.

 

A part of the apical meristem found in roots is Protoderm. The apical meristem is responsible for the primary growth of the plant, and it differentiates into three primary meristematic regions: protoderm, procambium, and ground meristem. The protoderm gives rise to the epidermis, which is the outer protective layer of the root. The other options, such as leaf primordium, differentiating vascular tissue, and axillary bud, are related to other parts of the plant, primarily stems or leaves.
