Monocots and Dicots are both types of flowering plants. The main difference between monocots and dicots is that monocots have only one cotyledon, or embryonic leaf, whereas dicots have two.

Monocots and Dicots are two subgroups of Angiosperms. Angiosperms are simply nothing more that flowering plants i.e. land plants that reproduce via seeds in flowers and fruits. All angiosperms are classified either into Monocots or Dicots. However, it has been debated that dicots are not a typical group and that it should be further classified.

As Monocots and Dicots are both types of flowering plants, they are quite similar. However, they do differ in some certain manner, which is why they are classified in this manner. The main difference between Monocots and Dicots is the seed embryo. The seed embryo is the seed from which new plants grow. Monocots have only one cotyledon, or embryonic leaf. This means that when the new plant grows it will shoot up from a single leaf, think of grass. Whereas, a dicot will grow two leaves as its seed contains two cotyledons.
There are also major differences between the seeds, flowers, leaves, and the stems of the two. Monocot flowers tend to have petals in multiples of three, which means that they will have three petals, six petals, nine petals, and so forth. Dicot flowers, on the other hand, tend to have petal in multiples of four or five, so four, five, eight, ten, etc.

Monocots generally have large, fleshy seeds. Their fruits or seedpods are generally comprised of three parts. However, the dicots tends to have a variety of different seeds, fruits or seedpods. There is no one consensus about similarities of similarities of seeds, fruits or seedpods of dicots.
