DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Monocotyledons are plants that flower or angiosperms holding single cotyledon or embryonic leaf seed. Monocotyledon is a tiny number of plant species with 60, 000 species of plants. The monocot leaves have stomata both on the top and bottom surfaces and are therefore referred to as amphistomatous.

Detailed explanation-2: -Monocotyledonous seeds are covered with a single seed cotyledon. The embryo of monocotyledons has a terminal cotyledon known as scutellum. The scutellum is called seed leaf.

Detailed explanation-3: -Monocots make up one of the largest groups of angiosperms, or flowering plants, comprising a total of 25 percent of all angiosperms [4]. The term monocot stems from most members of this group having one seed leaf, known as a cotyledon.

Detailed explanation-4: -Monocotyledons. Angiosperms or flowering plants having only one embryonic leaf or cotyledon are known as monocotyledons or monocots. Examples: grasses, wheat, maize, orchids, etc. The cotyledon is the storehouse of nutrients for the further development of the embryo.
