Understand the internal structure of roots in dicot and monocot plants. Compare tissue organization, vascular systems, and adaptations for nutrient absorption.
Monocot roots have a well-developed pith, whereas in dicot roots, the pith is either small or absent.

Endodermal cells contain Casparian strips, which regulate the selective movement of water and minerals into the vascular tissue.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Anatomy of Dicot and Monocot Root
Lateral roots arise from the pericycle, making them endogenous in origin.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Anatomy of Dicot and Monocot Root
The endodermis contains Casparian strips, which regulate the movement of water and minerals into the vascular bundle.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Anatomy of Dicot and Monocot Root
The cortex of dicot roots consists of parenchymatous cells that store food and nutrients.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Anatomy of Dicot and Monocot Root
Endodermis cells contain Casparian strips, which help regulate the movement of water and solutes into the vascular bundle.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Anatomy of Dicot and Monocot Root
The cortex lies between the epidermis and vascular bundle and consists mainly of parenchymatous cells.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Anatomy of Dicot and Monocot Root
The pericycle is responsible for the initiation of lateral roots in dicot and monocot roots.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Anatomy of Dicot and Monocot Root
The epidermis, especially its root hairs, absorbs water and minerals from the soil.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Anatomy of Dicot and Monocot Root
The endodermis has Casparian strips, which regulate the movement of water and minerals into the vascular tissue.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Anatomy of Dicot and Monocot Root
The endodermis has Casparian strips, which prevent passive water flow and regulate selective absorption.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Anatomy of Dicot and Monocot Root
The cortex of roots is responsible for storing starch and other nutrients.
