In dicotyledonous stems, the vascular bundles are typically open, meaning they contain both xylem and phloem tissues that are separated by a region of cambium. This cambium allows for secondary growth, enabling the plant to increase in diameter over time. In contrast, closed vascular bundles, which are found in monocot stems, lack cambium and do not support secondary growth.
