Detailed explanation-1: -Monocots. The monocotyledons (or, in abbreviated form, the monocots), class Liliopsida, are one of the major groups of flowering plants (angiosperms).

Detailed explanation-2: -Monocots (Class Liliopsida) are thought to have originated after the dicots and differ in their venation patterns and floral structures. Monocotyledons germinate with a single seed leaf, a monocotyledon. Monocots also have leaves with parallel venation and flower parts in multiples of threes (usually six).

Detailed explanation-3: -The flowering plants (angiosperms) that make up the division Magnoliophyta may be grouped into two major plant groups: Dicotyledoneae (or Magnoliopsida) and Monocotyledonae. The Dicotyledonae includes all the dicots whereas the Monocotyledonae, or Liliopsida, includes all the monocots.

Detailed explanation-4: -Monocotyledons are a class of flowering plants (angiosperms), whose embryo (seed) store only one cotyledon. The APG II system recognises a clade called “monocots” but does not assign it to a taxonomic rank. You can recognize a monocot by its leaves: they have long parallel veins running down the leaf.

Detailed explanation-5: -Liliopsida Batsch (synonym: Liliatae) is a botanical name for the class containing the family Liliaceae (or Lily Family). It is considered synonymous (or nearly synonymous) with the name monocotyledon. Publication of the name is credited to Scopoli (in 1760): see author citation (botany).
