If a plant has one seed leaf, or cotyledon, it falls into the group monocotyledon, or monocot for short. If a plant has two seed leaves, it falls into the group dicotyledon, or dicot for short. Since cotyledons are only present for a short period of time, it's usually much easier to recognize monocots due to their trimerous flowers and leaves with parallel veins.
Characteristics of a monocot
1)Embryo with single cotyledon
2)Pollen with single furrow or pore
3)Flower parts in multiples of three
4)Major leaf veins parallel
5)Stem vacular bundles scattered
6)Roots are adventitious
7)Secondary growth absent
