What are Monocotyledons ?
Monocotyledons, also known as monocots, are a group of flowering plants (angiosperms) that have seeds with a single cotyledon or embryonic leaf within the seed. Monocots are characterized by several features, including parallel leaf venation, flower parts typically in multiples of three, fibrous root systems, scattered vascular bundles in the stem, and pollen grains with a single furrow or pore. Examples of monocots include grasses, lilies, orchids, and palms.
What are Monocotyledons And Dicotyledons?
What are Monocotyledons And Dicotyledons? Monocotyledons and dicotyledons are two groups of flowering plants with key differences. Monocots have one cotyledon in their seeds, parallel leaf veins, flower parts in multiples of three, fibrous root systems, scattered vascular bundles in the stem, and pollen grains with a single furrow. Dicots have two cotyledons, netted leaf veins, flower parts in multiples of four or five, taproot systems, vascular bundles arranged in a ring, and pollen grains with three furrows.
