What is the difference between monocot and dicot plant?
Monocots differ from dicots in four structural features: their leaves, seeds, stems, roots and flowers.
Monocots have parallel venation, fibrous root systems, lack true woody growth, flower parts come in multiples of threes, stems have scattered vascular bundles, pollen has one spore. e.g. Palm trees, grasses, banana plants, orchids, bamboo.
Dicots have reticulate venation, taproot system, may have woody growth, vascular bundles are in a ring, pollen has 3 spores, flowers in parts of 4 or 5. e.g. Oak trees, tomato, lettuce, hibiscus, roses, apple tree.
