Detailed explanation-1: -On the basis of the number of cotyledons in seeds, angiosperms are divided into monocots (having one cotyledon) and dicots (having two cotyledons). General characteristics of dicots are: Their seeds have two cotyledons. The leaves of dicotyledons have a network-like arrangement of veins.

Detailed explanation-2: -branching veins. Both monocots and dicots form different leaves. Monocot leaves are characterized by their parallel veins, while dicots form “branching veins.”

Detailed explanation-3: -A dicot will have a leaf with a midline with veins branching off. Show them a leave and identify the midline, another name for this is the midrib. Monocot flowers will have petals in multiples of threes. Mono-means 1 like monolayer, or a single layer of something.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants producing seeds with two cotyledons are called dicots. The cotyledons contain stored fat that nourishes the embryo. While, plants having a single cotyledon in their seeds are called monocots.
