Solution: Girdling is the process of removing the tree’s bark in the form of a ring. The xylem is kept intact in this case so that it can feed minerals and water to the tree’s various components. Girdling is generally done in woody plants because the vascular tissues are joined, but it is impossible in monocotyledons since the vascular bundles are dispersed and the continuity is not interrupted. It’s mostly done to boost production and reproductive rate.

As a result, the Girdling experiment cannot be carried out in monocotyledons.
