what is the difference in monocot and dicot?
240676
Over 250,000 species of herbs, shrubs and woody plants are found in angiosperms. Monocot and dicot differ in their roots, stem, leaves, flowers and seeds. The main difference between monocot and dicot is that monocot contains a single cotyledon in its embryo whereas dicot contains two cotyledons in its embryo.

Gram seeds are dicot. Maize is another term for corn. Maize seeds are monocots. The most obvious difference between the gram and maize seeds is the number of embryo leaves, called cotyledons.

For example a peanut is a dicot while rice and corn are monocots. The roots of dicots show secondary growth which the roots of the monocots do not.

Pea seed is the dicot seed that is it contains two cotyledons. On the other hand, maize seed is a monocot seed or contains single cotyledon. Maize grain is obtained after the germination of the maize seed. Pea seed is the source of germination whereas the maize grain is the consumable food.

Flowering plants are divided into two main categories – Monocots and Dicots. Lilies are Monocots, characterized by parallel leaf veins, flower parts (petals, sepals, pistils etc.) in groups of 3's, fibrous root systems, and a single seed leaf emerging after germination.

In monocot flowers, the number of petals is 3 or a multiple of 3. In dicot flowers, the number of petals is 4 or 5 or a multiple of 4 or 5. For example, a black-eyed Susan has 21 petals, which is a multiple of 3, so it is a monocot. A wild rose has 5 petals, so it is a dicot.

Monocots are herbaceous, which means they have a soft, green stem and are not woody, whereas dicots are both woody as well herbaceous. Sugarcane, banana tree, grass, daffodils, palm, ginger, grains which include wheat, rice, corn, millets are examples of monocots.

Monocots have at least three of the following: Flower parts are in 3's or multiples of 3, leaves are parallel-veined, vascular bundles appear to be scattered through the stem cross-section (= atactostele), and seeds possess one cotyledon.

Dicots have a tap root system, while monocots have a fibrous root system. A tap root system has a main root that grows down vertically, and from which many smaller lateral roots arise.

Most dicots, however, share a common pollen structure that differs from that of monocots and a minority of dicots; this large subgroup of dicots is called eudicots. A plant's pollen structure is what makes it a eudicot, but its seeds differ from those of monocots in the same way that the seeds of all dicots differ.

Like all grasses, grass trees are actually monocots. 'Monocot' is short for monocotyledon, which refers to plants that have only one leaf arising from a germinating seed. In contrast, dicots, or dicotyledons, have two seed leaves.

Dicot. Monocots differ from dicots in four distinct structural features: leaves, stems, roots and flowers. ... Whereas monocots have one cotyledon (vein), dicots have two. This small difference at the very start of the plant's life cycle leads each plant to develop vast differences.

Dicot Example: Tulips. A tulip is a Monocot because of the characteristics they have. Tulips have parallel veins and the flower parts or seed leaves are in multiples of threes. Tulip have long, skinny leaves (like grass).

Monocots, such as corn, have only one seed body. Dicots, such as beans and most nuts, easily break into two halves.
362303
Dicot stems have their vascular bundles in a ring arrangement. Monocot stems have most of their vascular bundles near the outside edge of the stem. The bundles are surrounded by large parenchyma in the cortex region. ... Dicot roots have their xylem in the center of the root and phloem outside the xylem.

Ferns are neither monocots nor dicots. These labels refer to the embryonic leaves within the seeds of angiosperms, plants that reproduce with flowers...
