Josie was observing the roots of a monocot plant. It had thin, long roots. What type of growth do the roots of monocots exhibit? primary growth secondary growth lateral growth

Sagot :

Monocots exhibit primary growth. There are over 59 thousand species of monocots! 

The correct answer will be primary growth.

Monocot usually lack secondary growth. Primary growth can be defined as the elongation in the roots in length. Secondary growth is thickening of roots which is absent in monocot.

The rapidly dividing cells in the monocots is apical meristem which helps in increasing the length of the plant.
