In monocot stem like Zea mays, vascular bundles are conjoint, collateral and closed. In vascular bundles, the lowermost protoxylem vessels and xylem parenchyma cells dissolve forming a water containing schizolysigenous cavity called protoxylem cavity or lacuna or lysigenous cavity. Protoxylem cavity and protophloem may be absent in the smaller vascular bundles in maize.
