Question

How can you distinguish the cross-section of a monocot root from a monocot stem?

Features Features The presence of a single cotyledon in the seedling is the most common way to identify monocot plants. Veins that run parallel to the length of the leaves and flower sections that are arranged in a three or six-fold symmetry are some of the anatomical characteristics shared by monocots. Monocots have very little true woody tissue and an adventitious root system. They lack a typical cambium and have scattered vascular bundles.
