Vedclass · Answer

(A) In plants,the lateral branches of the stem are exogenous in origin. This means they arise from the superficial layers of the stem,specifically from the axillary buds located in the leaf axils. These buds originate from the meristematic cells present in the cortex or epidermis,rather than from deep-seated tissues like the pericycle or stele (which are responsible for the endogenous origin of lateral roots).
