In the given figure of TS of monocot root, the part marked as A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I are respectively root hairs, epiblema, cortex, endodermis, pericycle, phloem, protoxylem, pith and metaxylem. Monocot root do not undergo ant secondary growth. It consists of thin walled cells in the epiblema; unicellular root hairs, passage cells and casparian thickenings in the endodermis; parenchyma cells in the pericycle; conjuctive tissue; distinct pith and radial vascular bundles with polyarch condition and an exarch xylem. Cuticle and stomata are absent.
