The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct statements from the given options, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement A: "From the region of elongation, some of the epidermal cells form root hairs."** - **Analysis**: The root hairs are actually formed from the region of maturation, not the region of elongation. The region of elongation is where the cells are actively dividing and elongating, but root hairs develop from the mature epidermal cells. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. 2. **Statement B: "Pneumatophores are seen in Rhizophora."** - **Analysis**: Pneumatophores are specialized aerial roots that are found in certain plants, particularly in mangroves like Rhizophora. These roots help in gas exchange in waterlogged soils. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 3. **Statement C: "Adventitious roots are seen in the Banyan tree."** - **Analysis**: The Banyan tree (Ficus benghalensis) is known for its aerial roots that grow down from its branches into the soil, which are indeed adventitious roots. These roots provide additional support to the tree. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 4. **Statement D: "Maize and sugarcane have prop roots."** - **Analysis**: Both maize (Zea mays) and sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) develop prop roots that provide stability and support to the plants as they grow tall. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. ### Final Evaluation: - **Correct Statements**: - B: Pneumatophores are seen in Rhizophora (Correct) - C: Adventitious roots are seen in the Banyan tree (Correct) - D: Maize and sugarcane have prop roots (Correct) ### Summary of Correct Statements: - B, C, and D are correct statements.
