Radical vascular bundles are those in which
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
With the help of examples, explain the various types of vascular bundles.
In angiosperms the vascular bundles are mainly of three types (i) radial (ii)
conjoint (iii) concentric.
(i) Radial : Presence of radial vascular bundles is the characteristic feature of

roots. Those vascular bundles in which xylem and phloem are present on different
radii are known as radial vascular bundles. In between xylem and phloem bundles
parenchymatous cells are present.
(ii) Conjoint : In these vascular bundles xylem and phloem are present on the same
radii. Conjoint vascular bundles may be collateral (phloem is present only outer to
xylem) or bicollateral (phloem is present on both sides of xylem). If cambium is
present between xylem and phloem then the vascular bundle is known as open,
otherwise it is called closed.
(iii) Concentric : Those vascular bundles in which one type of vascular tissue is
surrounded by another type are known as concentric vascular bundles. These bundles
may be amphivasal or leptocentric(phloem is completely surrounded by xylem) or
amphicribal or hardocentric (xylem is completely surrounded by phloem). Amphivasal
bundles are found in Dracaena and Yucca. Amphicribal bundles are found in stamens
of many dicots etc.
