Step-by-step solution
The vascular system consists of complex tissues, the phloem and the xylem.The xylem and phloem together constitute vascular bundles. In roots, xylem and phloem in a vascular bundle are arranged in an alternate manner along the different radii the arrangement is called radial. Conjoint closed vascular bundles do not possess cambium. In open vascular bundles, cambium is present in between xylem and phloem. The vascular bundles of dicotyledonous stem possess endarch protoxylem. In monocotyledonous root, usually there
