Jeremy is observing a cross-section of a corn stem under the microscope. He observes that there is no vascular cambium present in this stem. Why is there no vascular cambium in corn stems?

Sagot :

This is because it is a monocot and monocots do not have a vascular cambium in their stems.

Answer:

Because corn is a monocot plant.

Explanation:

  • Vascular cambium is a type of plant tissue which is located between the phloem and xylem and is present in the roots and stem and is responsible for the secondary growth of plants.
  • In monocot stems, the vascular cambium is absent and hence they have scattered xylem and phloem tissues.
  • Since corn is a monocot plant it lacks vascular cambium. Vascular cambium is a type of plant tissue which is located between the phloem and xylem and is present in the roots and stem and is responsible for the secondary growth of plants.
