The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that "Prop roots are rope-like showing oblique growth." - Prop roots are indeed rope-like structures that emerge from the stem of certain plants, particularly in mangroves. - However, the term "oblique growth" is misleading. Prop roots typically grow vertically downwards to provide support to the plant. 2. **Evaluating the Assertion**: - Since prop roots do not show oblique growth but rather vertical growth, the assertion is **incorrect**. 3. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states that "Prop roots are adventitious roots for extra support and assimilation." - It is true that prop roots are adventitious roots and they provide extra support to the plant. - However, the term "assimilation" usually refers to the process of absorption and utilization of nutrients. Prop roots are primarily for support and do not play a significant role in assimilation. 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: - While the part about providing extra support is correct, the mention of assimilation is incorrect. Therefore, the reason is **partially incorrect**. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is incorrect and the reason is also incorrect (due to the misunderstanding of assimilation), we conclude that both statements are incorrect. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are incorrect. ---
