Dense fibrous connective tissue
The dermis layer of the skin contains collagen bundles. Collagen is a protein that provides strength and elasticity to the skin, helping to maintain its structure and firmness.
In monocot stems, vascular bundles are scattered throughout the ground tissue. They are not arranged in a distinct pattern like in dicot stems where they form a ring. The scattered distribution of vascular bundles provides support and strength to the stem.
Skeletal muscles get their strength from their large numbers of muscle fibers, which contain contractile proteins that generate force during muscle contraction. The organization of these fibers in parallel bundles allows for coordinated and powerful movement. Additionally, the recruitment of more motor units by the nervous system can also contribute to increased muscle strength.
Tendons and ligaments are examples of dense regular connective tissue. This type of connective tissue is organized in parallel bundles of collagen fibers, providing strength and flexibility to these structures.
Ligaments provide strength in many directions by connecting bones and stabilizing joints. They are made of dense regular connective tissue, which allows them to resist forces pulling in multiple directions. Tendons, on the other hand, connect muscle to bone and primarily provide strength in a single direction for movement.
In monocot stems, vascular bundles are scattered throughout the ground tissue. They are arranged in a complex pattern, with the xylem positioned towards the center and the phloem towards the periphery. This arrangement provides strength and flexibility to the stem.

A monocot usually has vascular bundles scattered throughout the stem in a complex arrangement, rather than in a circle like in a dicot. This scattered arrangement provides flexibility and support to the stem structure of monocots.
There are four major characteristics: -flower parts in threes -one cotyledon (embryonic leaf) -parallel leaf veins -scattered vascular bundles
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.

Vascular bundles in the stem are essential for the transport of water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant. They provide support and structure to the stem, allowing for efficient transportation and mechanical strength. Vascular bundles play a critical role in the overall growth and development of the plant.
