what is the difference between monocot plant and dicot plant?
129025
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.

Grasses are monocots, and their basic structural characteristics are typical of the majoriity of monocotyledonous plants: leaves with parallel veins, fibrous roots, and other consistent floral and internal structures that differ from those of dicots (see Monocots vs. Dicots or Monocots and Dicots Chart).

The main characteristic feature that differentiates a monocot and a dicot leaf is that, the guard cells of stomata are kidney-shaped in dicot leaf and dumb-bell shaped in a monocot leaf. The vascular bundle is large in dicot leaf whereas in monocot leaf, both small and large vascular bundles are present.

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.

Examples of monocots are grasses, orchids, irises, onions, lilies, and coconut palms. Examples of dicots are oaks, roses, cacti, blueberries, and sunflowers.

Monocot plants are characterized by having parallel veins and thin, strap-like leaves. Examples of monocot plants include grass, daylilies, corn, and coconuts. Dicots generally emerge from the soil with more than one leaf. Many dicots' cotyledons emerge from the soil, turn green, and perform photosynthesis.

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.

The main difference between monocots and Eudicots is found in their seed structure. When a monocot seed is opened, the stored food of the seed (the part we eat) is found as one unit, thus the “mono”. Think of a corn kernel or any other type of grain. Eudicots have the food source broken into two parts – “di”.

The difference between dicot and monocot root is, dicot root contains xylem in the middle and phloem surrounding it. While, monocot root contain xylem and phloem in another manner, forming a circle. The monocot roots are fibrous while that of dicot are tap roots.

Dicots have two seed leaves inside the seed coat. They are usually rounded and fat, because they contain the endosperm to feed the embryo plant. When a monocot seed germinates, it produces a single leaf.

Monocots differ from dicots in four distinct structural features: leaves, stems, roots and flowers. But, the differences start from the very beginning of the plant's life cycle: the seed. ... Whereas monocots have one cotyledon (vein), dicots have two.

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.

Is it an Monocot or a Dicot? The African violet is a dicot based on the evidence of having 5 petals and by looking at the leaves you can see they net like veins.

No, they are dicots. Mints are in the Lamiaceae. You can tell dicots from monocots in several easy ways. Dicots generally have leaves with net like veins while monocot veins are parallel.

All dicots and monocots are flowering plants, and so are descended from flower-producing plants. However, the flowers are not always large and showy the way we expect flowers to be. Oaks, maples, and sycamore are all dicot trees, but they do not produce obvious flowers.

Within the angiosperms, or flowering plants, there is a huge division. While monocots and dicots are both vascular plants, they differ in the way that their seeds form, and the way that they grow.

Dicot plants (formally, dicotyledons) belong to one of two groups of angiosperms which are flowering plants. As the name indicates, dicots have two cotyledons, or leaves, when they are young. Some dicot plants are roses, peas, beans, lentils, peanuts, oak trees, daisies and cacti.
