internal structure of monocotyledonous stem

Answer 1

I. Epidermis:

It is as usual single-layered with cuticularised outer walls.

II. Ground Tissues:

Next to epidermis there are two or three layers of sclerenchyma forming the hypodermis.

Bundles are numerous and scattered in the ground tissue, more crowded towards the periphery than towards the centre. The bundles are collateral closed.
