Question

Where is the cambium found on the vascular bundles in monocotyledons?

Answer 1

Vascular cambium:

The vascular cambium, which generates undifferentiated wood cells on the inside and bark cells on the outside, is the principal meristem in the stem.

Monocotyledons:

The term "cotyledon" describes the "first seed leaf" that exists in the embryo. It is classified as a monocot if there is only one seed leaf.

Vascular cambium is absent in monocotyledons:

1. In the stems and roots of several plants, the vascular cambium is the major growth tissue.
2. Particularly dicots like buttercups and oak trees, gymnosperms like pine trees, and other vascular plants.
3. Even while certain monocots, like palms and the Joshua tree, have secondary growth, they lack a vascular cambium.
4. They have a thickened meristem instead of vascular cambium, which creates secondary ground tissue.
5. Secondary growth in monocots is due to actions in vascular cambium.
