Understanding Monocots vs Dicots: The Importance of Vascular Bundle Distribution in Plants

Plants whose vascular bundles are evenly distributed throughout their entire stems are __________a) fibrousb) dicotsc) monocotsd) woody

C) monocots

Plants whose vascular bundles are evenly distributed throughout their entire stems are monocots.

Monocots are a type of flowering plant with a single cotyledon (or embryonic leaf in the seed), parallel veined leaves, and vascular bundles (xylem and phloem) that are scattered throughout the stem. In contrast, dicots typically have two cotyledons, reticulate (net-like) veined leaves, and vascular bundles arranged in a ring near the outside of the stem. Woody plants refer to trees and shrubs that have a secondary growth (thickening) of the stem and roots, producing wood. Fibrous roots, on the other hand, refer to a type of root system where the primary roots are replaced by a mass of roots of similar size, often in a cluster, which spread outward in all directions.
