Explanation

Sorghum (family-Poaceae) is a monocot plant. The leaves of monocot do not contain palisade parenchyma, because the mesophyll of monocot leaf is not differentiated into palisade and spongy parenchyma, all being thin-walled, chlorophyllous and irregularly compactly arranged with fewer intercellular spaces.
