Pericycle of roots produces:
Correct answer: B. Lateral roots
- A. Mechanical support
- B. Lateral roots
- C. Vascular bundles
- D. Adventitious buds
Explanation
Pericycle of root produces lateral roots. Endodermis is followed by pericycle. Usually, it is a continuous layer but in some monocots, it is interrupted by the xylem and phloem. It is the site of origin of lateral roots and cork cambium. The root branches are, therefore described as endogenous in origin.

About Growth and Development
Embryonic development covers fertilization, cleavage, formation of the blastula and gastrula, germ layers, organ formation and differentiation. Regeneration describes the replacement of lost tissues or body parts, whereas ageing involves gradual cellular and physiological changes linked to reduced repair, altered metabolism and declining organ function.
