Summary Introduction

To explain:

The reasons for eudicot trees being wider at the base than at the top.

Introduction:

The eudicots are the flowering plants in which seeds have two seed leaves. The flower parts in eudicots are found in multiples of four or five. In the eudicot stem, these bundles are arranged in a pattern of a ring. In the eudicot roots, the xylem is located at the center of the root but, the phloem is arranged outside the xylem.
