The correct Answer is:
To solve the question about the tissue characterized by thin walls and isodiametric cells that are either closely packed or have intercellular spaces, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Characteristics of the Tissue**: - The tissue has thin walls. - The cells are isodiametric (having equal dimensions in all directions). - The cells can be closely packed or have intercellular spaces. 2. **Recall Plant Tissue Types**: - In plants, the main types of tissues include parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma, xylem, and phloem. - Among these, parenchyma is known for having thin walls and can have intercellular spaces. 3. **Understand the Function and Location of Parenchyma**: - Parenchyma is a fundamental tissue in plants that serves various functions including storage, photosynthesis, and tissue repair. - It is found in various parts of the plant such as the cortex, pith (medulla), leaves, fruits, and seeds. 4. **Analyze the Options Provided**: - The question provides options: shoot apex, wood fibers, pith of monocot root, and based fibers. - The shoot apex contains meristematic tissue, which is not characterized by thin walls. - Wood fibers consist of sclerenchyma, which has thick walls. - Based fibers refer to phloem, which also does not match the characteristics given. 5. **Identify the Correct Answer**: - The pith of monocot roots is primarily made up of parenchyma, which matches the description of the tissue in the question. - Therefore, the correct answer is **pith of monocot root**. ### Final Answer: The tissue characterized by the presence of thin walls and isodiametric cells that are either closely packed or have intercellular spaces is found in the **pith of monocot root**. ---
