I: | Bulliform cells | large, bubble-shaped epidermal cells that occur in groups on the upper surface of the leaves of many monocots. |
II: | Lenticells | a porous tissue consisting of cells with large intercellular spaces in the periderm of the secondarily thickened organs and the bark of woody stems and roots of dicotyledonous flowering plants |
Consider the given statements:
I. | In dicot roots, the pericycle strengthens the roots and provides protection for the vascular bundles. |
II. | In dicot root, the vascular cambium is completely secondary in origin, and it originates from a portion of pericycle tissue. |
