Cambium is for secondary growth and monocots do not undergo secondary growth so I think cambium should be the answer 
Pith is not found in the stem of a monocot but found in its root, cambium is absent in both stem and root .....
option B is very correct 
he correct answer is B. Cambium.
Explanation:
In monocotyledons, the cambium—the tissue responsible for secondary growth and the formation of new vascular tissues—is typically absent. This absence results in monocot stems and roots lacking secondary growth, which is characteristic of dicotyledons.

Analysis of Other Options:
A. Xylem: Present in both monocot and dicot stems and roots, xylem is responsible for water and nutrient transport.
C. Pith: Monocot stems often lack a distinct pith, but monocot roots do contain a central pith.

D. Cortex: Found in both monocot and dicot stems and roots, the cortex is involved in storage and support.
E. Pericycle: Present in monocot roots, the pericycle is involved in the formation of lateral roots.

Therefore, the tissue not found in the stem and root of monocotyledons is B. Cambium.
