Monocots differ from dicots in four distinct structural features: leaves, stems, roots and flowers.

But, the differences start from the very beginning of the plant's life cycle: the seed. Within the seed lies the plant's embryo. Whereas monocots have one cotyledon (vein), dicots have two.

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.

The veins in the leaves of the monocots are usually arranged in parallel arrangements.The veins in the leaves of dicots are arranged in various patterns. The most common pattern is a crisscross net pattern.
