Stem Cross-Section: Dicot vs MonocotDicot: bundles in a RINGMonocot: bundles SCATTERED

In a dicot stem, vascular bundles are arranged in a single ring (with cambium between xylem and phloem, enabling secondary growth); in a monocot stem, bundles are scattered throughout with no cambium, so monocots can't undergo secondary growth (no wood formation).

Concept context
