How is woody xylem in tilia different from xylem in the herbaceous monocots and dicots?

Answer 1

Herbaceous stems lack woody tissue and growth rings unlike woody xylem. Wood is a composite of cellulose fibers which require the the process of phloem in the bark to contain nutrients unlike herbaceous stems that rely on xylem that contains vessel and vascular elements.

Answer 2

Monocot stems do not have cambium in the vascular bundles and all vascular bundles remain scattered in the ground tissue.

In dicot stems vascular bundles are arranged in circular rings inside primary and secondary cortex and cambium is present in between xylem and phloem tissues. During secondary growth interfascicular cambium joins with intrafascicular cambium to add secondary xylem and phloem tissues.

Answer 3

Xylem and phloem are types of vascular bundles. In monocots, these vascular bundles are scattered, and in dicots, they are arranged in a ring.

Answer 4

In monocots the xylem are grouped together, but in dicots they are seperated. In monocots the xylem are grouped together, but in dicots they are seperated.

Answer 5

A woody dicot stem is something that forms in wood. It carries xylem as part of secondary growth within. a herbaceous dicot stem has hidden growths inside.
