Vedclass · Answer

(A) In roots,the xylem development is $exarch$,which means the protoxylem is directed towards the periphery and the metaxylem towards the center. This arrangement is known as $centripetal$ $xylem$ development,where the maturation of xylem proceeds from the periphery towards the center. In contrast,stems exhibit $endarch$ xylem development,where the protoxylem is directed towards the center and the metaxylem towards the periphery.
