Answer 1

Answer:

D. Bast Fibres

• Bast Fibre (also called phloem fibre or skin fibre) is a type of plant fibre received from the phloem (also known as "inner bark" or "skin") or bast encircling the dicotyledonous plants' stems.

• They offer hardiness to the branch and support the phloem's conducting cells.
