Most of the monocots have a narrow stem because they have no cortex. Moreover they do not need a lot of water hence the fibrous roots.

Tulips have soft stems because these are annual herbs of monocots.


Do monocots have vascular cambium?

No, monocots do not have a vascular cambium. Vascular cambium is a type of meristematic tissue found in dicots that produces secondary xylem and phloem, allowing for secondary growth in stems. Monocots lack this tissue layer and instead exhibit primary growth throughout their lifespan.

Has only one cotyledon?

Plants with only one cotyledon are classified as monocots. Monocots are characterized by having parallel leaf veins, flower parts in multiples of three, and scattered vascular bundles in their stems. Examples include grasses, lilies, and palms.


What is the root structure of monocots?

Most monocotyledon plants such as grass and onions have fibrous foot systems. The actual root structure differs from the dicots. Monocots tend to have parallel vein systems in their stems. [A rare few monocots such as Cordyline australis also develop a substantial tap root. A NZ Cordyline of 1m tall, will have a tap root of 250 - 300 mm long and 30 - 40 mm dia. Used as a food source by the Maori. Again, this plant increases its trunk diameter, unlike most of the family.]


Is cotyledon found in monocots?

True cotyledones are lacking in monocots, However, it is represented by scutellum and epiblast in most of the monocot seeds.


What is differences of monocot and dicot as to their external and internal structure of stem?

Monocot stems have scattered vascular bundles, a lack of secondary growth, and do not have distinct pith, cortex, and vascular cambium regions. Dicot stems have vascular bundles arranged in a ring, undergo secondary growth, and have distinct pith, cortex, and vascular cambium regions. This results in differences in stem morphology and growth patterns between monocots and dicots.

Is a bulb a monocot or a dicot?

Bulbs are typically modified stems that can belong to either monocots or dicots, depending on the specific plant species. There is no universal rule that dictates whether bulbs belong to monocots or dicots as they can be found in various plant groups.
