does an epidemis in a monocot stem contain stomata?

Yes, an epidermis in a monocot stem may contain stomata. Stomata are small openings present in the epidermis of the plant that are responsible for gas exchange and transpiration. They are present in both monocots and dicots, although the arrangement and distribution may differ. In the monocot stem, the stomata are usually present in the epidermis on both sides of the leaf.

No, an epidermis in a monocot stem does not contain stomata. Stomata are tiny openings found on the epidermis of leaves, stems, and other plant organs that allow for gas exchange and transpiration. In monocot stems, the epidermis is usually unbroken and lacks stomata, unlike the leaves where stomata are primarily present.
