Explain vascular bundles

Question

Explain the vascular bundles? How does configuration of the vascular bundles in the stem differentiate monocots from the dicots?

Answer 1

Vascular bundles are the segments of the xylem and connected phloem which run longitudinally in the stem. In the dicots, vascular bundles are organized side-by-side making the concentric rings. In monocots, the vascular bundles are scattered and does not form the rings.
