Introduction Angiosperms, the flowering plants, are the most highly evolved plants and the most dominant in present times. The cells of angiosperms are prearranged into different tissues and organs (Curtis et al 1989). The three main organs of flowering plants are roots, stems, and leaves. All the flowering plants are basically divided into two major groups or classes, the Dicots and the Monocots based on a variety of the structural appearance. Most of these features can be identified with the naked eye including, the number of seed leaves, root system, appearance of vascular bundles in stems, vein arrangement in the leaves and the number of floral parts (Blake et al 2001). While monocots and dicots are composed of the same tissues (ground, vascular and dermal tissues) the arrangement of these tissues differs (Curtis et al 1989). The internal structure of the angiosperm root is comparatively simple (Curtis et al 1989). In...
