Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Monocot roots are fibrous, meaning they form a wide network of thin roots that originate from the stem and stay close to the surface of the soil. In contrast, dicots have “taproots, ‘’ meaning they form a single thick root that grows deep into the soil and has smaller, lateral branches.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Monocot Stem has Vascular Bundles near the outside edge of Stem. Vascular Bundles are scattered in Parenchymatous ground Tissue. There is no pith region in Monocots. Dicot Stems have bundles in a ring surrounding Parenchyma cells in a pith region.

Detailed explanation-3: -The dicot stem does not have a bundle sheath on the outside of a vascular bundle. The monocot stem has a sclerenchymatous bundle sheath on the outside of a vascular bundle. The dicot stems have trichomes. The monocot stems do not have trichomes.
