Bamboo is considered a grass because, like all grasses, the internodal region of the stems are hollow, and vascular bundles in a cross-section of a bamboo plant are scattered throughout the stem instead of in a cylindrical arrangement like that of a tree, shrub or forb. Also, unlike trees or shrubs, the dicotyledonous woody xylem is absent, and the abscence of secondary woody growth causes the stems of these plants to be columnar instead of tapering.
