Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Monocot leaves tend to have parallel veins; in dicots the veins are netted. Monocot floral parts are in multiples of 3; dicots are based on 4’s or 5’s. The vascular bundles in monocots stems are scattered; in dicots they form a ring surrounding the pith.

Detailed explanation-3: -Monocot leaf The vascular structures of monocot leaves form parallel veins. Monocot leaves differ from dicot leaves in several ways. First, they tend to be more oblong or linear in shape, and their vascular bundles are organized into veins that originate at the base of the leaf and run parallel to one another.

Detailed explanation-4: -Monocots have a single such cotyledon, while other flowering plants usually have two. The exception to this is the water lily Nymphaea, which has what appears to be a single cotyledon with two lobes, but which has usually been interpreted as two fused cotyledons.

Detailed explanation-5: -Onion, grass, and maize are monocots. Sunflower is a dicot plant. Hence the anatomy of dicot root can be studied in sunflower plants.
