Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Monocots do not produce wood in annual rings because they lack a vascular cambium, which is responsible for the secondary growth that leads to the formation of wood in dicotyledonous plants. However, monocots still have efficient vascular bundles that transport water and nutrients throughout the plant. The thickness of their stems will depend on other factors, such as the species and environmental conditions.
