Differentiate btw Monocot and Dicot.
Answers
Monocots and dicots differ morphologically. Monocot pollen possesses a single furrow in its outer layer, parts such as stamens and petals are in multiples of three, leaf veins are parallel, the vascular strands are scattered in the stem, roots are adventitious (arise from the plant stem) and there is no secondary growth such as wood or bark. Monocot examples include onions and grasses.
A dicot’s two cotyledons serve as nutrient storage and occupy a large amount of the seed’s volume. Dicot pollen has three furrows, flower parts are in multiples of four or five, leaf veins are branched, vascular bundles are situated in a cylinder in their stems, roots form from a radicle and taproot system, and they usually exhibit secondary growth. Dicot examples include legumes and hardwood trees.
