Detailed explanation-1: -Dioecious and monoecious plants have something in common, in that they both bear unisexual flowers with only male or female reproductive parts. If the plant is dioecious, the male and female blossoms appear on separate plants. If the plant is monoecious, each plant has both male and female flowers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sometimes there are separate female and male flowers, but they are on the same plant. These plants are called monoecious (meaning “one house”). Monoecious plants are examples of selfers because they do not need two separate plants in order to reproduce.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dioecious plants house their male and female flowers on separate plants. Examples include holly, kiwi, and asparagus. Monoecious plants can have male and female flowers in separate structures on the same plant. Examples include squash and cucumber.

Detailed explanation-4: -The plants in which male and female flowers are borne on separate individual are referred to as dioecious plants. e.g., papaya, date palm.
