Best Answer

The roots of most dicots originate from the radicle. They appear in an X shape - with the xylem in the centre, and phloem in the gaps.

By contrast, the radicle of monocots aborts, and the roots appear to originate almost at random from nodes in the stem. The phloem and xylem alternate - forming a circle.
