No, no they do not. As well as not having a cortex, monocot stems don't have a pith either.

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.


What kinds of plants produce a cork cambium monocot?

The monocots like the maize produce the cork cambium monocot.


What type of stem does not produce a cork cambium?

Herbaceous stems do not produce a cork cambium. Herbaceous stems are soft and pliable, composed mostly of primary tissues, while woody stems have secondary growth that includes the production of a cork cambium.


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.


If a stem has cork cambium is it woody or herbaceous?

If a stem has cork cambium, it is typically considered woody. The cork cambium (phellogen) is responsible for producing cork cells in woody plants, forming part of the protective outer bark. Herbaceous plants generally lack this cork cambium layer.


What is responsible for secondary growth in a stem?

Vascular cambium is responsible for secondary growth in a stem.


Which is the primary source of stem thickening in plants?

The primary source of stem thickening in plants is the vascular cambium, a layer of cells between the xylem and phloem tissues. The vascular cambium is responsible for producing new xylem and phloem cells, which leads to an increase in stem girth over time.


What charicteristics could you use to help you decide if a plant was a monocot or a dicot?

1. Number of cotyledones in the embryo of a seed 2. Absence of cambium in the vascular bundles 3. Scaterred vascular bundles in the stem. 4. Parallel leaf venation


Is gumamela monocot or dicot stem?

gumamela is a dicot stem


Why do many dicot roots contain cambium but monocot roots do not?

because mono-cots have open vascular bundle.
