Answer:

What is Monocotyledons?

• Monocotyledon is commonly referred to as monocots. They are grass and grass-like flowering plants (angiosperms), the seeds of which typically contain only one embryonic leaf or cotyledon. The monocotyledons include about 60,000 species. Palm trees, grasses, bananas, and orchids are some of the examples.

° Monocotyledon is a type of flowering plant, whose embryo (seed) stores only one cotyledon. Monocots form a monophyletic group, meaning that they share a common evolutionary history. Monocot plants contain seeds with a single cotyledon, parallel-veined leaves, scattered vascular bundles in the stem, the absence of a typical cambium, and an adventitious root system. Monocotyledons account for most of the staple foods of the world, such as cereal grains and starchy root crops, and palms, orchids and lilies, building materials, and many medicines.

What is Dicotyledons?

• Dicotyledons, also known as dicots. The name denotes a typical characteristic of the group, namely that the seed has two embryonic leaves or cotyledons. There are around 200,000 species within this group. Beans, buttercups, oaks, sunflowers, etc are some of the examples.

° Dicotyledons belong to the group of flowering plants which typically have two cotyledons, or embryonic leaves, in their seeds. Their flowers generally have parts in fours or fives or multiples thereof. Examples of dicotyledons are oaks, elms, maples, most showy flowers, most garden plants, most vegetables.
