Detailed explanation-1: -Angiosperms are divided into two categories based on the number of cotyledons in a seed. If the seed has one cotyledon they are called monocots and if the seed has two cotyledons they are called dicots.

Detailed explanation-2: -Angiosperm diversity is divided into two main groups, monocot and dicots, based primarily on the number of cotyledons they possess.

Detailed explanation-3: -Angiosperms are classified into two groups, namely monocots and dicots based on the number of cotyledons. Monocots have single coyledon in the seed. E.g., banana, cereals, grasses, etc. On the other hand, dicots have two cotyledons in the seed.

Detailed explanation-4: -A dicotyledon (commonly referred to as a dicot) is an angiospermous plant with two cotyledons and having an exogenous manner of growth [4]. Cotyledons are the “seed leaves” that absorb nutrients within the seed until the plant can produce true leaves and begin photosynthesis.
