Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A vascular bundle is a part of the transport system in vascular plants. The transport itself happens in the stem, which exists in two forms: xylem and phloem . Both these tissues are present in a vascular bundle, which in addition will include supporting and protective tissues.

Detailed explanation-2: -The vascular bundles of leaves are called veins and these veins form a network known as venation. In dicotyledonous venation is reticulate and in monocotyledonous it is of parallel type.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dicot stem The vascular bundles in the stem are arranged around a ring of cambium, which contains cells that divide to expand the girth of the stem. This is similar to the function of the cambium in dicot roots.
