Question
Palm is a monocotyledonous plant, yet it increases in girth. Why and how?
Short Note
Solution
Palm is a monocotyledonous plant, yet it increases in girth slowly due to secondary growth. It is due to parenchymatous cell division and enlargement in the ground tissue. Thus, repeated divisions cause an increase in the girth of the stem.
