Morphology & Anatomy of Flowering Plants: 5 Must-Know Facts

  1. Potato = STEM (eyes = buds); Sweet potato = ROOT (no buds). This is the most repeated NEET trap — never confuse the two.
  2. Fabaceae fingerprint: diadelphous (9+1), vexillary, marginal, legume. Learn this as one unbreakable unit.
  3. Sieve tubes = living but enucleated; xylem vessels = dead. Tissues that look "empty" are NOT necessarily dead — sieve tubes are the exception.
  4. Brassicaceae = tetradynamous (4+2) + cruciform petals + parietal placentation + siliqua. Unique to this family; no other family has this combination.
  5. Dicot stem = open VBs in ring (cambium present, secondary growth); monocot stem = closed scattered VBs (no cambium, no secondary growth). This one comparison answers multiple anatomy MCQs in NEET.
