SEE THE ATTACHMENT ABOVE..

here is your answer ..


DICOT ROOT

An inconspicuous pith or may be absent as well.Mostly the number of xylem bundles are 4–6. So tetra or hexaxylic condition.Pericycle (a thin parenchymatous circular layer inner to the endodermis) gives rise to lateral roots and secondary meristem (cambium & phellogen).Cambium appears as a secondary meristem.

Secondary growth is seen cutting the secondary xylem towards the inner side and secondary phloem towards the outer side.

E.g. Root ot wheat.

MONOCOT ROOT

A very well developed parenchymatouscentral pith is presentXylem shows polyarch condition. Exception= Allium cepa (onion).Pericycle forms only lateral roots but no secondary meristem.

No cambium is present between xylem and phloem.

E.g. Zea mays

Both dicot and monocot roots have radial & exarch xylem.

Heya mate! !

Monocots differ from dicots in four distinct structural features: leaves, stems, roots and flowers. 

But, the differences start from the very beginning of the plant's life cycle: the seed. Within the seed lies the plant's embryo. Whereas monocots have one cotyledon (vein), dicots have two. This small difference at the very start of the plant's life cycle leads each plant to develop vast differences
