Which vascular bundle arrangement is characterized by xylem and phloem being situated separately along different radii, commonly found in roots?

A. Conjoint
B. Radial✓ Correct Answer
C. Bicolateral
D. Concentric

💡 Solution & Explanation

Radial vascular bundles feature xylem and phloem patches located alternately on separate radii, which is a characteristic internal feature of dicot and monocot roots. Conjoint bundles, where xylem and phloem are situated along the same radius, are predominantly found in stems and leaves. Bicolateral and concentric arrangements represent specialized variations of conjoint vascular bundles.
