■Roots
Monocots usually have adventitious roots.
Dicots usually have tap roots.
■Stems
The vascular bundles of monocots are usually spread throughout the cross-section of the stem.
Those in dicots are usually spread to the outside.
■Cotyledons
In theory, this is the best way to tell the difference between monocots and dicots. Monocotyledons, have one cotyledon and dicotyledons have two. However, unless you’re a botanist, it’s going to be somewhat difficult to look at a seed to determine the number of these.
