B. Scattered vascular bundles

Monocot roots typically have scattered vascular bundles, meaning that the xylem and phloem bundles are spread throughout the cross-section of the root. In contrast, dicot roots usually have a more organized arrangement of vascular bundles, often forming a central cylinder with a distinct pattern. This is one of the key anatomical differences between monocot and dicot roots.
