The major difference between hardwoods and softwoods id that the hardwoods (dicotyledons) contain vessels as the principal conducting conduit and lack ray tracheids, the softwoods (Gymnosperms) lack vessels, and contain ray tracheids. Their stems are similar in structure to woody dicots except that most gymnosperms produce only tracheids in their xylem, not the vessels found in dicots.
