What is the anatomy differences between monocot and dicot root?
The main difference is in the vascular cylinder or stele. In a monocot the phloem and xylem are in loose rings. With the phloem towards the outside and the xylem towards the inside. There is no pith in the center. In a dicot there is pith in the very center composed of paraenchyma. Instead there is xylem tightly packed with branching arms looking somewhat like a star. The phloem fills in the spaces in between the arms.
