|
(monocot) corn seed is bigger then a (dicot) bean seed
|
|
|
(monocot) corn seed is always yellow where a (dicot) bean seed can be many different colors
|
|
|
(monocot) corn seed has a single cotyledon, while a (dicot) bean seed has two cotyledons
|
|
|
(monocot) corn seed germinates at a lower temperature than a dicot (bean) seed
|
Detailed explanation-1: -The plants in which the seed have only one cotyledon are known as monocots. Such plants are monocotyledons. The plants in which the seed have two cotyledons are known as dicots.
Detailed explanation-2: -Types. The main difference between monocots and dicots is the number of cotyledons, or embryonic leaves inside of the seed. As a monocot, corn seeds will produce a seedling with one leaf. Bean seeds, which are dicots, will sprout with two leaves.
Detailed explanation-3: -Monocots develop a fibrous root system where no single root serves as the origin for all of the other roots. Dicots develop a taproot system where a single root descends from the embryo (seed) and branches out into a network of smaller roots and finally root hairs that absorb water and nutrients.
Detailed explanation-4: -Monocots differ from dicots in four distinct structural features: leaves, stems, roots and flowers. But, the differences start from the very beginning of the plant’s life cycle: the seed. Within the seed lies the plant’s embryo. Whereas monocots have one cotyledon (vein), dicots have two.
