Introduction:
Stems are involved to provide support to the leaves and reproduction structures. The vascular tissue that is found in stems helps in the transportation of water and other substances throughout the plant. The vascular tissues are arranged in a group that is surrounded by the parenchyma. The pattern of these vascular tissue arrangement help to differentiate between eudicots and
