The number of cotyledon, type of root and leaf venation of monocot and dicot plants:
- The monocot plant has one cotyledon and dicot has two cotyledon.
- The plant embryo in seed have structure called cotyledon.
- The monocot has adventitious root growing from stem and dicot has taproot system.
- The leaf in monocot is sessile, which indicates being attached directly to the base without the stalk. If the leaf has stalk, then the plant is dicot.
- In monocot the leaf has parallel venation which are long and thin.
- The plant is dicot for branched venation of leaf.
