Heya frnd...
___________
We can examine the plant whether it is monocot or dicot on the basis of their structure of seeds, roots , leaves and stems.
SEEDS
A seed of a monocot plant has one cotyledon and that of a dicot plants has two cotyledons.
ROOTS
Monocots have adventitious roots, whereas dicots have a radicle from which a root develops.
LEAVES
If the leaf has a stalk, then the plant is a dicot. But, in the case of a monocot plant, the leaf is sessile, which means it is attached directly by its base without a stalk.
LEAVES VENATION
If the leaves have parallel venations that are long and thin, then the plant is monocot. If the leaves have a branched venation, then the plant is a dicot.
STEM
Monocot plants normally have a weak stem, whereas dicots have a strong stem.

These are the two characteristics or differences that can help you categorize plant into dicot and monocot:
- At a microscopic level, they have different shapes of guard cells and in case of dicots, they are abundantly present on the lower side of a plant.
- Monocots have bulliform cells on leaf surface whereas they are absent in dicots. Bulliforms are large bubble shaped cells that grow in clusters or groups on the surface.
