Detailed explanation-1: -Monocot plants are marked by seeds with a single cotyledon, parallel-veined leaves, scattered vascular bundles in the stem, the absence of a typical cambium, and an adventitious root system.
Detailed explanation-2: -Monocot stem is the type of stem with two cotyledons present in its seed. Examples of monocot stems are grass, maize, wheat, etc.
Detailed explanation-3: -Monocots have “Parallel” or Striate venation which is characterized by veins which run parallel to one another over a large expanse of the Blade (Lamina).
Detailed explanation-4: -Monocot leaves tend to have parallel veins; in dicots the veins are netted. Monocot floral parts are in multiples of 3; dicots are based on 4’s or 5’s. The vascular bundles in monocots stems are scattered; in dicots they form a ring surrounding the pith.
Detailed explanation-5: -Leaf veins–In monocots, there are usually a number of major leaf veins which run parallel the length of the leaf; in dicots, there are usually numerous auxillary veins which reticulate between the major ones.
