Which has scattered phloem and xylem in the stem?
Seeds that are considered monocot seeds contain phloem and xylem as scattered around. Dicot seeds have more organization, with the xylem in an x and the phloem surrounding it.
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.

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.
