Name all the cell types that make up each tissue and function of each cell type in monocot root and they develop from primary meristem
Monocot root is a type of seedling root that develops from the primary meristem. It consists of three main tissue types: epidermis, cortex, and stele.
1. Epidermis:
- Cell types: Epidermal cells
- Function: Protection and absorption of water and nutrients from the soil.
2. Cortex:
- Cell types: Parenchyma cells
- Function: Storage of water and nutrients.
3. Stele:
- Cell types:
- Endodermal cells
- Pericycle cells
- Vascular tissue cells (xylem and phloem)
- Function:
- Endodermal cells: Regulate the uptake of water and minerals.
- Pericycle cells: Give rise to lateral roots and storage roots.
- Xylem cells: Conduct water and minerals from roots to the stem and leaves.
- Phloem cells: Conduct organic nutrients from leaves to other plant parts.
