उत्तर

This statement is false.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis can only occur in plant cells that contain specialised green organelles called chloroplasts, which house the light-trapping pigment chlorophyll. Consequently, it is restricted to green tissues like the leaf mesophyll, guard cells, and young green stems. Non-green parts of the plant, such as the roots, internal woody tissues, and most floral petals, completely lack chloroplasts and cannot perform photosynthesis.
