Why dicot roots have fewer xylem bundles as compared to monocot laef |
| Answer» In\xa0dicot\xa0stems,\xa0vascular\xa0bundles are\xa0arranged\xa0in a ring toward the stem periphery. In\xa0monocot\xa0stems, the\xa0vascular\xa0bundles are randomly scattered throughout the ground\xa0tissue. Leaves include two\xa0different\xa0types of photosynthetic parenchyma cells (palisade and spongy).\xa0Monocot\xa0stems have most of their vascular bundles near the outside edge of the stem. ...\xa0Monocot roots, interestingly, have their vascular bundles arranged in a ring.\xa0Dicot roots\xa0have their\xa0xylem\xa0in the center of the\xa0root\xa0and phloem outside the\xa0xylem. A carrot is an example of a\xa0dicot root. | |
