Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Dioecious plants are those plants that have male and female flowers on separate plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -A dioecious plant is one where the male and female reproductive systems occur on separate plants. While both plants produce flowers, one plant has the male reproductive parts and the other plant has the female parts. This is unlike a monoecious plant, which has both male and female flowers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dioecious plants house the male and female flowers on different plants. So not only does the plant have separate male/female flowers, they have male plants (with only male flowers) and female plants (with only female flowers).

Detailed explanation-4: -With dioecious species, each plant is either a male or female member. Some plants of the species have only male reproductive organs, or stamens, while other plants of the species have only female reproductive parts or pistils.
