Question

Is there any correlation between the cotyledons of seeds
and types of venation on the leaves?
Explore the same and explain briefly.

Answer 1

Answer:

When the veins are parallel and do not form a network, it is known as Parallel Venation. Plants with fibrous roots have parallel venation. Plants that have fibrous roots and parallel venation in leaves include wheat, maize, grass, banana, bamboo, etc.

When the veins in leaves are irregularly distributed to form a channel, it is known as reticulate Venation. Plants with reticulate venation in their leaves are likely to have tap roots. Plants like carrot or rose have leaves with reticulate venation and tap roots.

Answer 2

Plants with tap root system i.e. dicots show reticulate venation in their leaves. Plants with fibrous root system i.e. monocots show parallel venation in their leaves. ... Ferns always have fibrous root system but their leaves show special type of dichotomous or reticulate venation rather than parallel venation.
