Detailed explanation-1: -If a plant has reticulate venation, it will be a dicot. This type of venation presents like meshwork. There is midvein present in the leaf and main small veins arise from the midvein. Reticulate type of venation is found in dicots hence the root system found in them will be the taproot system.

Detailed explanation-2: -The arrangement of veins in a leaf is called the venation pattern; monocots have parallel venation, while dicots have reticulate venation.

Detailed explanation-3: -A leaf is often organized with one main vein running down the middle of the blade. This vein is called the midrib.

Detailed explanation-4: -Examples of plants with parallel veins are sedges, cattails, lilies, irises, and grasses (e.g., corn, rice, wheat, turf grasses).

Detailed explanation-5: -Sclerenchyma cells are present on the linings of the leaf which protects the internal vascular tissues. Xylem and phloem tissues are present towards the inside of the veins.
