Question
Why is the vascular system of monocot stems more scattered than that of dicot stems?
Explanation
Monocots do not undergo secondary growth, so their vascular bundles are scattered rather than forming a ring as seen in dicots. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.
