Monocot Root* Presence of thin walled cells in the epiblema.

* Absence of cuticle and stomata.

* Presence of unicellular root hairs.

* Presence of passage cells and casparian thickenings in the endodermis.

* Presence of parenchyma cells in the pericycle.

* Presence of conjuctive tissue.

* Presence of a distinct pith.

* Presence of radial vascular bundles with polyarch condition and an exarch xylem

Dicot Root* Presence of thin walled cells in the epiblema.

* Absence of cuticle, and stomata.

* Presence of unicellular root hairs.

* Absence of hypodermis.

* Presence of passage cells and casparian thickenings in the endodermis.

* Presence of uniseriate pericycle made up of parenchyma.

* Presence of conjuctive tissue.

* Absence of pith.

* Presence of radial vascular bundles exhibiting tetrach condition with exarch xylem

Dicot Stem Anatomy:

1. In dicot stem the epidermal multicellular stem hairs are present.

2. Hypodermis present or absent; if present it is collenchymatous.

3. Cortex is well differentiated.

4. Endodermis and pericycle layers are present.

4. Vascular bundles are arranged in a ring, they are conjoint, collateral, open and endarch.

6. Pith is distinct and centrally located.

Monocot Stem Anatomy:

1. Usually stem hair are absent.

2. Hypodermic generally present and it is sclerenchymatous.

3. No cortex, the entire tissue below hyperdermis is ground tissue.

4. No endodermis of pericylce.

5. Vascular bundles are scattered in the ground tissue. they are conjoint, collateral and closed.

6. Pith is not differentiated. (S_A)

Dicot root is differing from dicot stem in arrangement of xylem and phloem. Xylem cells in root appear a star shape in center of root and phloem cells are between the star arms, while in dicot stem there is pith in center and around it there are xylem (without being star shape) and phloem cells. Also the cortex in root (parenchyma) is wider than cortex in stem (chlorenchyma). Root has some hairs in its surface.

Xylem in stem is endarch but in root is exarch and has star-shaped.

in a dicot stem, vascular bundles form a ring while in a monocot stem, vascular bundles are scattered throughout the ground tissue. Ground tissue in a dicot stem is separated into pith (inside) and cortex (outside) while monocot ground tissue is not separated this way.

Woody dicot stem has plenty of secondary xylem as a result of seasonal secondary growth which forms the wood. Herbaceous dicot stem has inconspicuous secondary growth.

Why are the vascular bundles in a monocot herbaceous stem said to be scattered?

The vascular bundles in a monocot herbaceous stem are said to be scattered, because they lack the organization of the dicot vascular bundles. Dicot vascular bundles are arranged in a star shaped formation, whereas the monocot vascular bundles are placed randomly.

Is almond a monocot?

No. Almonds are a dicot. The 'cot' in monocot and dicot refers to cotyledon, which refers to the embryonic leaves (seed leaves) of a plant. Dicot means 2 leaves, monocot means one. Most seed producing plants fall into the dicot category, but there are many examples of monocots such as palm trees, maize (corn), grasses, an some flowers. Monocots have a different vascular structure than dicots. An almond tree for example, is a dicot, and as it grows, it creates hardwood at the center while the vascular system (water-moving system) is between the hardwood and the bark. In palm trees (moonocots) the vascular system is throughout the center of the stem. Other differences between the two types of plants are pollen shape, how roots develop, etc.


Why are dicot stems wider in diameter than monocot stems?

So sorry but you have that backwards. Bamboo which is a monocot is the fastest growing plant that there is. The reason for this is: monocots do not make as big an investment in their structural support, that is they do not grow as much wood as dicots.


What tissue occupies the center of the dicot stem?

cortex- In dicot stems, the cortex is located in the area between thevascular bundles and the epidermis. In monocot stems, it occupies the area surrounding the vascularbundles. The center of the stem is pith and may function as storage.


What is the different internal structure of stem?

the different internal structure of stem are epidermis, vascular bundles, cortex for monocot stems and to dicot, pith, vascular and cork cambium.
