II: Endodermis The tangential as well as radial walls of the cells have a deposition of suberin in the form of casparian strips.
III: Pericycle Initiation of lateral roots and vascular cambium during the secondary growth takes place in these cells
IV: Pith Large and well developed.
1. Only II and III
2. Only I, II and III
3. Only I, III and IV
