Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Similarly, a dicot flower is tetramerous or pentamerous which means it can have up to 4-5 petals or the number of petals is multiple of 4-5. The other flower parts also show similar features as petals. 2)The arrangement of veins in the leaves that is also known as venation is different for monocot and dicot flowers.

Detailed explanation-2: -In dicot flowers, the number of petals is 4 or 5 or a multiple of 4 or 5. For example, a black-eyed Susan has 21 petals, which is a multiple of 3, so it is a monocot. A wild rose has 5 petals, so it is a dicot.

Detailed explanation-3: -In monocots, petals usually number three or multiples of three; in dicots, the number of petals is four or five, or multiples of four and five. Together, the calyx and corolla are known as the perianth. The third whorl contains the male reproductive structures and is known as the androecium.
