Answers
Answer:
dicots have double cotyledon whereas monocots have singer cotyledons dicots have fibrous root where is monocot #food dicots leaves are arranged in two parallel venation whereas monocot leaves are arranged in reticulate venation they have pentamerous flowers whereas monocots have trimerous flowers monocots have weak stem where is dicot have strong and hard stand
ANSWER :
The difference between Dicot Roots and Monocot Roots on the basis of vascular bundles and pith are given below :
On The Basis Of Vascular Bundles
When we talk about dicot root, we can see that any dicot root contains 2 to 6 vascular bundles. This type of arrangement is called hexarch type of arrangement of vascular bundles.
Whereas monocot root possesses more than 6 vascular bundles. This type of arrangement of vascular bundles in monocot roots is known as polyarch orientation.
On The Basis Of Pith
The pith of dicot root is very poorly developed or we can say that the pith present in dicot root is small.
On the other hand, the pith of monocot root is large and is properly developed.
