Answer

Radial arrangement

Structural Details: In radial vascular bundles:

  • Xylem and phloem lie on different radii
  • Alternating patches of xylem and phloem
  • Conjunctive tissue (parenchyma) separates them
  • Exarch protoxylem (towards periphery)

Functional Advantage: This arrangement facilitates efficient lateral transport from root hairs to central xylem.
