A major characteristic of the monocot root is the presence of:

1. Scattered vascular bundles
2. Vasculature without cambium
3. Cambium sandwiched between phloem and xylem along the radius
4. Open vascular bundles

Correct answer: Vasculature without cambium

Solution

Monocot roots typically do not have cambium, so they do not undergo secondary thickening. This is a key difference from many dicot roots, which can form cambium and later secondary vascular tissues.
