Vascular bundles in monocotyledons are considered closed because
xylem is surrounded all around by phloem
there are no vessels with perforations
a bundle sheath surrounds each bundle
there is no cambium
If cambium is absent, it is called closed vascular bundle. If cambium is present, it is called open; a feature of dicots.
The transverse section of a plant material shows the following anatomical features,
(a) the vascular bundles are conjoint, scattered and surrounded by sclerenchymatous bundle sheaths
(b) phloem parenchyma is absent.
What will you identify it as?
The transverse section of a plant shows the following anatomical features- large numbers of scattered vascular bundles surrounded by bundle sheaths, large conspicuous parenchymatous ground tissue, vascular bundles are conjoint and closed, and phloem parenchyma absent. Identify the plant and its part.
