Answer:
Monocot stems have scattered vascular tissue, whereas eudicots stems have vascular tissue arranged in a ring.
Explanation:
Both monocots and eudicots belong to the plant's sub-division known as angiosperms. However, there are four distinguishing features between the two:
- Monocots have single cotyledons or seed leaves while eudicots have two.
- Monocots usually produce needle-like leaves with parallel veination while eudicots produce broad leaves with net veination.
- Root system in monocots is usually a tap root while it is fibrous root in eudicots.
- Floral parts in monocots are usually in multiple of threes while they are in multiples of fours of fives in eudicots
- Vascular bundles in the stems of monocots are usually scattered about while they are arranged in ring-form in eudicots.
Hence, the only true one among the statements is that monocots stems have scattered vascular tissue, whereas eudicots stems have vascular tissue arranged in a ring.
