In a plant name two features which would you examine to categorise it into monocot or dicot plants |
| Answer» We can examine the plant whether it is monocot or dicot on the basis of their structure of seeds, roots , leaves and stems.Seeds: A seed of a monocot plant has one cotyledon and that of a dicot plants has two cotyledons.Roots: Monocots have adventitious roots, whereas dicots have a radicle from which a root develops.Leaves: If the leaf has a stalk, then the plant is a dicot. But, in the case of a monocot plant, the leaf is sessile, which means it is attached directly by its base without a stalk.Leaves venation: If the leaves have parallel venations that are long and thin, then the plant is monocot. If the leaves have a branched venation, then the plant is a dicot.Stem: Monocot plants normally have a weak stem, whereas dicots have a strong stem.\xa0 | |
