HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Nymphaeaceae (water lilies) have reticulate veins, a single cotyledon, adventitious roots, and a monocot-like vascular bundle. These examples reflect their shared ancestry.

Detailed explanation-2: -Monocots contain a single cotyledon and have veins that run parallel to the length of their leaves; their flowers are arranged in three to six-fold symmetry.

Detailed explanation-3: -Monocots have one cotyledon. Monocot leaves tend to have parallel veins; in dicots the veins are netted. Monocot floral parts are in multiples of 3; dicots are based on 4’s or 5’s. The vascular bundles in monocots stems are scattered; in dicots they form a ring surrounding the pith.

Detailed explanation-4: -Monocot plants have only one cotyledon in their seeds. Monocots include wheat, maize, bamboo, rice, banana, lilies, orchids, and tulips.
