3. Monocot leaf and a dicot leaf
4. Calyx and corolla​

Answer 1

Answer:

differentiate between Herbs and shrubs

• A shrub or bush is a small- to medium-sized perennial woody plant. Unlike herbaceous plants, shrubs have persistent woody stems above the ground. Shrub can be deciduous or evergreen. They are distinguished from trees by their multiple stems and shorter height, less than 6 m-10 m tall.

• In general use, herbs are plants with savory or aromatic properties that are used for flavoring and garnishing food, for medicinal purposes, or for fragrances; excluding vegetables and other plants consumed for macronutrients. Culinary use typically distinguishes herbs from spices.

differentiate between taproot and fibrous root

• Taproot, main root of a primary root system, growing vertically downward. Most dicotyledonous plants (see cotyledon), such as dandelions, produce taproots, and some, such as the edible roots of carrots and beets, are specialized for food storage.

• A fibrous root system is the opposite of a taproot system. It is usually formed by thin, moderately branching roots growing from the stem. A fibrous root system is universal in monocotyledonous plants and ferns. The fibrous root systems look like a mat made out of roots when the tree has reached full maturity.

differentiate between monocot leaf and a dicot leaf

• In monocot and dicot leaves, vascular bundles are surrounded by one or more layers of parenchyma cells known as bundle sheaths. They protect the “veins” of the leaf. In monocot leaves, the cells of the bundle sheath carry out photosynthesis, but this isn't always the case in dicot leaves.

• The dicotyledons, also known as dicots (or more rarely dicotyls), are one of the two groups into which all the flowering plants or angiosperms were formerly divided. The name refers to one of the typical characteristics of the group, namely that the seed has two embryonic leaves or cotyledons.

difference between calyx and Corolla

• A sepal is a part of the flower of angiosperms. Usually green, sepals typically function as protection for the flower in bud, and often as support for the petals when in bloom. The term sepalum was coined by Noël Martin Joseph de Necker in 1790, and derived from the Greek σκέπη, a covering. 

• Petals are modified leaves that surround the reproductive parts of flowers. They are often brightly colored or unusually shaped to attract pollinators. Together, all of the petals of a flower are called corolla.
