Answer 2

Two main features of monocot plants are :

• Parallel venation in leaves - In parallel venation,the veins run parallel to each other from base to tip of a leaf.
• Vascular bundle arrangment - In the cross-section of a monocot stem there are vascular bundles scattered randomly without any proper sequence.

Two main features of dicot plants are :

• Reticulate venation in leaves - In reticulate venation, there is a net like arrangement where the viens and vienlets are interlinked to each other.
• Vascular bundle arrangment - in the cross-section of a dicot stem, there are vascular bundles arranged in rings with proper sequence.
