Answer:

Flowering plants are divided into monocots (or monocotyledons) and dicots (or dicotyledons). This comparison examines the morphological differences in the leaves, stems, flowers and fruits of monocots and dicots.

Comparison chart

Dicot versus Monocot comparison chart

Dicot Monocot

Embryo

As the name suggests, the dicot embryo has two cotyledons. Monocotyledons have one cotyledon in the embryo.

Leaf venation

Leaf veins are reticulated (branched). Leaf veins are parallel.

Type of leaves

Dorsiventral Isobilateral

Stomata in leaves

Some dicots are epistomatous i.e., they have stomata only on one surface on their leaves. Monocots are amphistomatous i.e., monocot leaves have stomata on both the upper and lower surface.

Bulliform cells

Dicot leaves do not have bulliform cells. Many monocots have bulliform cells on their leaves to regulate the loss of water.

Flowers

Petals in multiples of four or five. May bear fruit ( if tree). Petals in multiples of three.

Root Pattern

Taproot system Fibrous roots

Secondary growth

Often present Absent

Stem and vascular system

Bundles of vascular tissue arranged in a ring. The vascular system is divided into a cortex and stele. Bundles of vascular tissue scattered throughout the stem with no particular arrangement, and has no cortex.

Pollen

Pollen with three furrows or pores. Pollen with a single furrow or pore.

Presence or absence of wood

Both herbaceous and woody Herbaceous

# of seed leaves

2 seed leaves 1 seed leaf

Examples

Legumes (pea, beans, lentils, peanuts) daisies, mint, lettuce, tomato and oak are examples of dicots. Grains, (wheat, corn, rice, millet) lilies, daffodils, sugarcane, banana, palm, ginger, onions, bamboo, sugar, cone, palm tree, banana tree, and grass are examples of plants that are monocots.
