Vascular bundles of dicot stem are described as conjoint collateral and open because;
1. In dicot stem, the complex tissue is collectively present as neighbours of each other on the same radius in the form of xylem inside and phloem outside. Such type of vascular bundles are called as conjoint and collateral.
2. In dicot stem, a strip of cambium is present between xylem and phloem. Hence, it is called as open vascular bundle.
