Explanation:
The seed in the plant having one cotyledon is called as the monocotyledon, while the seed in the plant having two cotyledons is named as the dicotyledon. Ginger, banana, wheat, maize, palm, onion, garlic are few examples of monocotyledonous plants, while rose, groundnut, potato, tomato, pea, eucalyptus, hibiscus are the examples of dicotyledonous plants.
Knowing the family of a plant is useful in many ways, as it helps us to know many factors about plant and how will it germinate, what kind of seed it is and what are the requirements of it to grow, etc. Among the various family of plants, monocots and dicots belong to the most diversified and occupied family which are Angiosperms.
Angiosperms consist of flowering plants, trees, shrubs, and herbs. There are around 2,50,000 species known of this family. Keeping the ground of the embryo hold by the seed, angiosperms are distinguished in two parts – monocots and dicots. In 1682, John Ray was the first person to give this taxonomic name, later a French Botanist Antonie Laurent de Jussieu popularized this system in 1789.
The cotyledon is the ‘first seed leaf‘, present within the embryo, though it is not the true leaf. If it is a single seed leaf, it is categorised as monocots and if it is the pair of leaves then termed as dicots. But this is not only the point to distinguish them, rather there are other noticeable points too, which are further discussed in this article.

BASIS FOR COMPARISON MONOCOTS DICOTS
Meaning Plants with the seed having only one cotyledon are called as monocots, and the plant is called as monocotyledons. Plants with the seed having two cotyledons are called as dicots and plant is called as dicotyledons.
Embryo Contains one cotyledon. Contains two cotyledons.
Flower parts The flower parts are present in multiples of three. The flower parts are present in multiples of four or five.
Pollen Pollen tube contain single pore or furrow (monocolpate). Pollen tube has three or more pore or furrow (tricolpate).
Leaves The venation of the leaf is parallel.
