How is Tissue Organization Different in Roots and Shoots?
The organization of vascular tissues differs between roots and shoots. In roots, vascular tissues are typically arranged in a central cylinder called the stele. The xylem forms a star-shaped structure at the center, surrounded by phloem. In contrast, in the stem, vascular tissues are organized in vascular bundles, which are arranged in a ring in dicots or scattered in monocots.
