Detailed explanation-1: -One of the most prominent characteristics of monocot root is the absence of cambium. This limits the roots’ ability to grow sufficiently. The monocot root consists of a distinct pith around which the vascular bundles arrange themselves alternately and radially forming a ring.
Detailed explanation-2: -While monocots lack the ability to produce a vascular cambium or woody growth, some monocot lineages evolved a novel lateral meristem, the monocot cambium, which supports secondary radial growth of stems.
Detailed explanation-3: -Monocots do not have a vascular cambium. Whereas the stem comes up with new regeneration tissues through primary and peripheral growth monocots, it does not have the ability to manufacture a vascular cambium since monocots do not engage in peripheral growth.
