Morphology of Flowering Plants

External structure is the focus: roots, stems, leaves, inflorescences, flowers, fruits, seeds, and their modifications, ending with floral formulas. NEET asks recall with a twist, matching modifications to examples and reading floral diagrams or formulas.

Weightage: what the paper actually did

Morphology of Flowering Plants carried 4 questions in the NEET 2026 paper. One paper is a data point, not a destiny: NTA moves weight between chapters every cycle, which is why the weightage tables deserve care. The stable facts are the paper's shape: 180 questions, 720 marks, +4 right, −1 wrong.

Sample PYQs from this chapter

Real questions NTA asked from Morphology of Flowering Plants, with the answer and the working. Try before you peek.

Question 1 · NEET 2026

In racemose inflorescence, _________.
  1. A.The main axis terminates in a flower
  2. B.Flowers are solitary
  3. C.The growth is limited
  4. D.Flowers are borne in an acropetal succession
Answer and explanation

Answer: D

In a racemose inflorescence the main axis keeps growing (unlimited growth) and does not end in a flower; the flowers are borne laterally in acropetal succession, with older flowers at the base and younger ones toward the tip. Termination of the main axis in a flower and limited growth are features of the cymose inflorescence.

Question 2 · NEET 2026

In angiosperms, root hairs arise from which one of the following regions of the root?
  1. A.The root cap zone
  2. B.The region of meristematic activity
  3. C.The region of elongation
  4. D.The region of maturation
Answer and explanation

Answer: D

Root hairs are fine, thread-like unicellular outgrowths of epidermal cells that develop in the region of maturation (differentiation), where cells have fully elongated and differentiated. Hence D is correct. The root cap, meristematic zone and elongation zone lie proximal to this region and do not bear root hairs.
