Detailed explanation-1: -Eudicots have two cotyledons in their seeds, netted venation in their leaves (Figure 8.1. 4), flower parts in multiples of 4 or 5 (4-merous or 5-merous, see Figure 8.1. 5), and vascular bundles in the stem arranged in a radial pattern like spokes of a wheel.

Detailed explanation-2: -Number of flower parts–If you count the number of petals, stamens, or other floral parts, you will find that monocot flowers tend to have a number of parts that is divisible by three, usually three or six. Dicot flowers on the other hand, tend to have parts in multiples of four or five (four, five, ten, etc.).

Detailed explanation-3: -In monocot, the first cotyledon is called scutellum while the second cotyledon is rudimentary and is called. No worries!

Detailed explanation-4: -Q. Plants with seeds having two cotyledons are called monocots.

Detailed explanation-5: -Monocot flowers occur with parts having multiples of three; usually there are three stamen, three petals and three sepals (six tepals), and usually just one stigma.
