Question

what is difference between monocotyledonous plant and dicotyledonous plant

Answer 1

Monocots differ from dicots in four distinct structural features: leaves, stems, roots and flowers. ... Whereas monocots have one cotyledon (vein), dicots have two. This small difference at the very start of the plant's life cycle leads each plant to develop vastdifferences.
