Study the internal structure of stems in dicot and monocot plants. Compare vascular arrangements, ground tissue distribution, and support mechanisms.
Tracheids are dead cells with thick lignified walls that help in both mechanical support and water conduction.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Anatomy of Dicot and Monocot Stem
Medullary rays are present in dicot stems and play a role in lateral conduction of nutrients.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Anatomy of Dicot and Monocot Stem
In monocot stems, vascular bundles are scattered within the ground tissue and lack cambium.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Anatomy of Dicot and Monocot Stem
Medullary rays are parenchymatous cells between vascular bundles that facilitate lateral conduction in dicot stems.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Anatomy of Dicot and Monocot Stem
Dicot stems have vascular bundles arranged in a ring, whereas monocot stems have scattered vascular bundles.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Anatomy of Dicot and Monocot Stem
Medullary rays are parenchymatous cells between vascular bundles that aid in lateral conduction.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Anatomy of Dicot and Monocot Stem
Monocot stems have vascular bundles scattered throughout the ground tissue, unlike dicot stems, which have a ring arrangement.

In dicot stems, the endodermis is rich in starch grains and is referred to as the starch sheath.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Anatomy of Dicot and Monocot Stem
Medullary rays in dicot stems are parenchymatous cells that facilitate lateral conduction of nutrients and water.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Anatomy of Dicot and Monocot Stem
Sclerenchyma cells have thick, lignified walls and are dead at maturity, providing mechanical strength to plants.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Anatomy of Dicot and Monocot Stem
The cortex consists of parenchymatous cells and stores water, nutrients, and starch in roots.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Anatomy of Dicot and Monocot Stem
In dicot stems, the endodermis is rich in starch grains and is known as the starch sheath.
