In dicot stems, primary phloem differentiates towards the outside while primary xylem differentiates towards the middle. This is because the procambium, which gives rise to these vascular tissues, is located closer to the center of the stem. As the stem grows, the new layers of phloem are added towards the outside and new layers of xylem are added towards the middle.
