Question

state the difference in the character of dicot and monocot roots with respect to 1) number of vascular bundles and 2) the pith

Answer 1

hey buddy,

Monocot stems have most of their vascular bundles near the outside edge of the stem. The bundles are surrounded by large parenchyma in thecortex region. There is no pith region in monocots. Dicot stems have bundles in a ring surrounding parenchyma cells in a pith region.

hope it will help

Answer 2

1) In dicot root has fewer xylem bundles (2 to 4 xylem and phloem patches)
    In monocot root more than 6 xylem bundles.

2) pith is large in monocot and well developed.
    pith is small in dicot and surrounded by parenchyma cell.
