DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: Dicots have a tap root system, while monocots have a fibrous root system.

Detailed explanation-2: -Secondary growth–Most seed plants increase their diameter through secondary growth, producing wood and bark. Monocots (and some dicots) have lost this ability, and so do not produce wood.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dicots have a tap root system, while monocots have a fibrous root system. A tap root system has a main root that grows down vertically, and from which many smaller lateral roots arise.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most monocots are herbaceous annuals or perennials that shoot each season from an underground storage organ (bulb, corm or rhizome) although some do form small woody trees (e.g. Xanthorrhoea). Many species have short stems and most leaves are basal, sometimes forming dense tussocks.
