In a monocot stem, the scattered vascular bundles are surrounded by a sclerenchymatous sheath. This sheath primarily functions to:
Store starch and other carbohydrates for the plant.
Regulate the transport of water and nutrients within the bundle.
Provide mechanical strength and support to the vascular bundles.
Facilitate gaseous exchange between the vascular tissues and the surrounding parenchyma.

The ground tissue in a monocot stem is often described as 'undifferentiated'. This implies that:
It consists only of parenchyma cells with no other cell types.
It lacks intercellular spaces and is compactly arranged.
The cortex, endodermis, and pericycle are not clearly distinguishable.
It is incapable of further differentiation into specialized tissues.
