What are Dicotyledons?
Dicotyledons, also known as dicots, are a group of flowering plants (angiosperms) that have seeds with two cotyledons or embryonic leaves within the seed. Dicots exhibit several characteristics, including netted or reticulate leaf venation, flower parts usually in multiples of four or five, taproot systems, vascular bundles arranged in a ring-like pattern in the stem, and pollen grains with three furrows or pores. Many familiar plants are dicots, such as roses, sunflowers, oak trees, and tomatoes.
What are Monocotyledons And Dicotyledons?
What are Monocotyledons And Dicotyledons? Monocotyledons and dicotyledons are two groups of flowering plants with key differences. Monocots have one cotyledon in their seeds, parallel leaf veins, flower parts in multiples of three, fibrous root systems, scattered vascular bundles in the stem, and pollen grains with a single furrow. Dicots have two cotyledons, netted leaf veins, flower parts in multiples of four or five, taproot systems, vascular bundles arranged in a ring, and pollen grains with three furrows.
