DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Angiosperms are classified into two groups, namely monocots and dicots based on the number of cotyledons. Monocots have single cotyledon in the seed. E.g. banana, cereals, grasses, etc. On the other hand, dicots have two cotyledons in the seed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Monocots and dicots are types of angiosperms and not gymnosperms as the presence of covered seed and cotyledons is a feature of angiosperms only.

Detailed explanation-3: -Eudicots. The eudicots are by far the largest group of angiosperms. They include over 210, 000 species of plants in 44 orders. The term “dicot, ‘’ short for “dicotyledon, ‘’ refers to angiosperms that have embryos with two cotyledons, or seed leaves (Greek di-= two).
