Compare and contrast the structure of an herbaceous eudicot stem and that of a monocot. What will be an ideal response?


Monocot and eudicot stems are similar in that they have an epidermis surrounding a region of ground
tissue and vascular bundles. In eudicots, the vascular bundles are arranged in a ring that surrounds a
central pith; the ground tissue outside the ring is cortex. In monocots, the vascular bundles are
scattered throughout the ground tissue, and as a result pith and cortex are lacking.
