The monocot is the plant that has only one cotyledon in the embryo, whereas dicot is the plant that has two cotyledons in the embryo. Monocots and dicots differ from each other in four structures: leaves, stems, roots and flowers. Here we'll be differentiating it betweenthe roots of the monocot and dicot

hii.

There many differentiating points:

☆☆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 parenchymatous

》central pith is present

》Xylem 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
