Choose the distinguishing features of monocots and dicots.
A
Leaf Venation
B
Number of Petals
C
Number of cotyledon
D
Root Structures
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Monocot roots are fibrous, meaning they form a wide network of thin roots that originate from the stem and stay close to the surface of the soil. In contrast, dicots have “taproots, ‘’ meaning they form a single thick root that grows deep into the soil and has smaller, lateral branches.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Monocot plants are marked by seeds with a single cotyledon, parallel-veined leaves, scattered vascular bundles in the stem, the absence of a typical cambium, and an adventitious root system.
