Answer 2

Flowering plants are classified into three major groups named monocots, eudicots, or magnoliids on the basis of A. first leaves.

Monocots -

• Monocot embryos have only one cotyledon
• Seeds typically contain only one embryonic leaf
• They differ on the basis of leaf veins and trimerous flowers

Dicots -

• The seed has two cotyledons
• Pollen grains have two or three pores
• Leaf veins are reticulated

Magnoliids -

• These are the group of flowering plants
• Pollen has a single pore
• Branching-veined leaves

The first leaf or embryonic leaf is also called cotyledons and it creates a major difference between monocots and dicots.
