Vascular bundles


Vascular bundles are present throughout the monocot stem, although concentrated towards the outside. This differs from the monocot root that has a ring of vascular bundles and often none in the center.

Monocot stems have scattered vascular bundles. Dicot stems have their vascular bundles in a ring arrangement. Monocot stems have most of their vascular bundles near the outside edge of the stem.

Stem vascular arrangement -- Vascular tissue occurs in long strands called vascular bundles. These bundles are arranged within the stem of dicots to form a cylinder, appearing as a ring of spots when you cut across the stem.

pith ray The region or tissue located between vascular bundles in a stem and connecting the pith and cortex; also termed interfascicular region or medullary ray.
