DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Angiosperms are classified into dicotyledons (dicots) and monocotyledons (monocots). This distinction is mainly based on the number of cotyledons present in the seed’s embryo. Dicots have two cotyledons. On the other hand, monocots have only one cotyledon.

Detailed explanation-2: -Eudicots. Eudicots, or true dicots, are characterized by the presence of two cotyledons in the developing shoot. Veins form a network in leaves, while flower parts come in four, five, or many whorls. Vascular tissue forms a ring in the stem whereas in monocots, vascular tissue is scattered in the stem.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants producing seeds with two cotyledons are called dicots.

Detailed explanation-4: -On the basis of the number of cotyledons in seeds, angiosperms are divided into monocots (having one cotyledon) and dicots (having two cotyledons).
