How is a dicot stem different from a monocot stem
Monocots only grow a single stem. Dicots have multiple meristems.
Monocots can grow taller from a single meristem but not wider with age. Dicots have multiple meristems so the plant
continues to grow taller and wider with age.
In monocots, cutting off the tip (meristem) can result in the death of the stem but dicots contain multiple stems so cutting off
a tip does not kill the tree or shrub but redirects growth to other meristems.
Monocots are often unbranched and herbaceous but dicots have stems that often branched and woody.
Monocot stems contain scattered vascular tissue bundles, but dicots have vascular bundles arranged in rings or a circle near
the outside of the tree .
Endosperm
What provides food for the growth of the plant embryo?
Vegetation that generally remains tender and rarely produces woody or semi-woody plant material are ____ plants.
herbaceous
