Correct answer: C
The statement that is NOT correct for a typical monocot stem is:
Option C: Hypodermis is parenchymatous.
Explanation:
• In monocot stems
– Vascular bundles are indeed conjoint (xylem + phloem together), closed (no cambium) and scattered throughout the ground tissue.
– Phloem parenchyma is absent.
– The hypodermis, however, is usually sclerenchymatous (providing mechanical support), not parenchymatous.
