Which of the following organs produce similar, branching organs (i.e., a leaf on a leaf, a branch on a stem, a lateral root on a root) from an internal cell layer called the pericycle?

Only stems

Only roots

Only leaves

Stems and roots

Solution

Stems produce similar branching organs ie roots from the pericycle which gives rise to branch roots.

The pericycle is a cylinder of parenchyma (vascular- storage and transport of nutrients) or sclerenchyma cells (nonvascular- support and protection) that lies inside the endodermis and outer side of stele of plants.
