Why is the vascular system of monocot stems more scattered than that of dicot stems?

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.
