Monocots vs Dicots

This is a dicot root, you know this because the vascular bundals are lining the perimeter as aposed to the monocot root where they have a "x" formation on the centre

This is a dicot stem as the vascular bundals are clearly seen on the edge forming a circle and not randomly placed like in a monocot stem.


This is a picture of a root cross section, it is monocot. We know this because the vascular bundles are clearly visible meaning that they are running perpendicular to the cut. This means that they are running parallel down the plant leaf.
