So sorry but you have that backwards. Bamboo which is a monocot is the fastest growing plant that there is. The reason for this is: monocots do not make as big an investment in their structural support, that is they do not grow as much wood as dicots.

Compare the external structure of monocot and dicot stems?

Monocot stems are fleshy, have no branches, and don't get in thicker as they grow. Dicot stems do indeed grow wider, often grow branches, and are fairly tough.


What are the characteristics of a monocot and dicot?

A monocot (short for 'monocotyledon') has only one cotyledon (the first leaf to emerge from the seed when it germinates). Dicots have two (a good example is a pea). Open a green pea and you will find the cotyledons inside, easily separated). Monocot plants tend to be long and thin (grasses and reeds) unlike dicots which tend to be 'wider' (geraniums, docks, oak trees, rhubarb, etc.)

Differences between monocot and dicot stem?

Monocot Root* Presence of thin walled cells in the epiblema. * Absence of cuticle and stomata.* Presence of unicellular root hairs.* Presence of passage cells and casparian thickenings in the endodermis.* Presence of parenchyma cells in the pericycle.* Presence of conjuctive tissue.* Presence of a distinct pith.* Presence of radial vascular bundles with polyarch condition and an exarch xylemDicot Root* Presence of thin walled cells in the epiblema. * Absence of cuticle, and stomata.* Presence of unicellular root hairs.* Absence of hypodermis.* Presence of passage cells and casparian thickenings in the endodermis.* Presence of uniseriate pericycle made up of parenchyma.* Presence of conjuctive tissue.* Absence of pith.* Presence of radial vascular bundles exhibiting tetrach condition with exarch xylemDicot Stem Anatomy:1. In dicot stem the epidermal multicellular stem hairs are present.2. Hypodermis present or absent; if present it is collenchymatous.3. Cortex is well differentiated.4. Endodermis and pericycle layers are present.4. Vascular bundles are arranged in a ring, they are conjoint, collateral, open and endarch.6. Pith is distinct and centrally located.Monocot Stem Anatomy:1. Usually stem hair are absent.2. Hypodermic generally present and it is sclerenchymatous.3. No cortex, the entire tissue below hyperdermis is ground tissue.4. No endodermis of pericylce.5. Vascular bundles are scattered in the ground tissue. they are conjoint, collateral and closed.6. Pith is not differentiated. (S_A)

Is 2 mm wider than 4 mm as in a ring?

No. 2 millimeters is only half as wide as 4 mm.Of course, for the same outside diameter, a 2 mm ring will have a wider inside diameter, so perhaps that is the point of confusion.
