Answer:

A herbaceous dicot has vascular bundles arranged in a ring around the pit, we're at a herbaceous monocot has vascular bundles scattered throughout the stem. Or herbaceous dicot has vascular cambium between xylem and phloem, whereas a herbaceous monocot usually lacks vascular cambium.

Monocot stems have scattered vascular bundles. Dicot stems have their vascular bundles in a ring arrangement. Monocot stems have most of their vascular bundles near the outside edge of the stem. Dicot roots have their xylem in the center of the root and phloem outside the xylem.

The arrangement of xylem and phloem is different in dicots than it is in monocots. The xylem is all located in the middle of the dicot root, and bundles of phloem are arranged around it, separated from it by vascular cambium. Monocots do not have vascular cambium.
