In this cross section of a dicot stem note the collenchyma cells in the cortex just under the epidermis. Sunflower stems are quite tough, and this toughness is in part due to the layer of collenchyma cells positioned to give the stem mechanical stability.

DICOT STEM CROSS SECTION. For studying the internal structure of a typical dicot stem, the stem cross section of a young Sunflower or Cucurbita is taken. A thin transverse section of the stem reveals the following structures under the microscope: 1. Epidermis.
Dicot stem is the solid cylindrical axial part of a plant consisting of nodes and internodes giving rise to leaves, branches, and flowers. The most distinguishing feature of dicot stems is the hard and woody trunk as a result of the secondary growth of the plant.
The diagram shows a cross section of a dicot stem, and we need to identify one of the structures in it. To do this, let’s look at the different structures in a dicot stem and their functions. The epidermis is a single layer of cells that forms the outer covering of the plant stem.
When the stem is viewed in cross section, the vascular bundles of dicot stems are arranged in a ring. In plants with stems that live for more than one year, the individual bundles grow together and produce the characteristic growth rings.
Anatomical structure of dicot stem. T.S. of dicot stem shows following internal features: Epidermis: It is the outermost layer and has a single layer of parenchymatous cells. It possesses stomata and large number of multicellular hairs (trichomes). The outer walls are greatly thickened and cutinized.
The Woody Dicot Stem. The drawing shows a sector of a cross section through a 5-year old twig from a basswood tree (Tilia). The stem has three areas: bark; wood; pith; Figure 16.1.3.1 Dicot stem
Dicot stem. Those plants whose seed contains two cotyledon or embryonic leaf is known as dicotyledon or simply dicot. In this section, you will learn about characteristics and anatomy of dicot stem. Visit this page to learn about monocot stem.
Structure. Internal Features. Shoot Apical Meristem – “Immortal” cells at the tips of stems that generate new cells for differentiation and growth in stem length. Epidermis – Outer layer of wax-coated cells that provides protection and covering. Cortex – Primary structural and storage tissues of a stem. Vascular Tissues.
