Detailed explanation-1: -In dicots, the number of petals occurs in groups of four or five. Flowers with multiples of four petals are called tetramerous, while flowers with multiples of five petals are known as pentamerous.

Detailed explanation-2: -Also monocot flowers usually have six stamens. Dicots typically possess four or five sepals and four and five petals.

Detailed explanation-3: -In dicot flowers, the number of petals is 4 or 5 or a multiple of 4 or 5. For example, a black-eyed Susan has 21 petals, which is a multiple of 3, so it is a monocot. A wild rose has 5 petals, so it is a dicot.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The number of sepals and petals varies depending on whether the plant is a monocot or dicot. In monocots, petals usually number three or multiples of three; in dicots, the number of petals is four or five, or multiples of four and five. Together, the calyx and corolla are known as the perianth.
