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

How are the vascular bundles arranged in the monocot stem?
The vascular bundles are arranged in a loose circle inside the endodermis of a monocot root. In a monocot root, there are eight bundles of xylem and eight bundles of phloem. The phloem forms a cylinder outside of the cylinder of xylem.For more information (and diagrams of a monocot root) see the page links, further down this page, listed under Related Questions and Related Links.
Is there a pith in a monocot root?
Monocots do not have pith inside of them. They do have vascular bundles however, which are in a scattered order.
Why do monocot plants not show secondary growth?
In a monocot stem, vascular bundles are scattered throughout the stem. However, because the of the lack of vascular cambium, no secondary growth occurs in the monocot stem. As a result of increased cell size, the monocot stem will only increase in height only.
Why is a coconut a mono cot?
A coconut is a monocot because it has one cotyledon, parallel veined leaves, primary vascular bundles are scattered, and floral parts in threes.

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

What is the difference between the arrangement of vascular tissue in the stems of dicots and monocots?
In young dicot and monocot stems do not increase in thickness. Xylem and phloem are arranged in vascular bundles in the cortex. In older stems and all woody stems, the vascular tissues form a cylinder between the cortex and the pith. The vascular bundles in a monocot are scattered throughout the stem.
What tissue is responsible for growth in angiosperms?
The two kind of vascular tissue angiosperms have would be the Monocot vascular bundles distributed througout the stem and the Dicot vascular bundles arranged in circles!
What is differences of monocot and dicot as to their external and internal structure of stem?
th dicot because they are actually arranged in a certain type of formation
Is hosta a monocot?
Because God made it that way... just kidding. A monocot refers to any plant that has vascular bundles scattered around that stem whereas dicots have grouped vascular bundles. Monocots also have complete flowers or both male and female flowers on the same plant whereas dicots have incomplete flowers or only a male or female flower on one plant. Monocots can self pollinate, dicots require two plants for sexual reproduction.
