Answer:

In general, monocots do not undergo secondary growth. If they do increase in girth (like palm trees and yucca plants), it does not result in the development of a secondary xylem and phloem, since monocots don't have vascular cambium. An increase in girth without secondary growth is referred to as anomalous thickening.
