  2. Monocotyledon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monocotyledon

    The monocots or monocotyledons have, as the name implies, a single (mono-) cotyledon, or embryonic leaf, in their seeds.Historically, this feature was used to contrast the monocots with the dicotyledons or dicots which typically have two cotyledons; however, modern research has shown that the dicots are not a natural group, and the term can only be used to indicate all angiosperms that are not ...

  3. File:Monocot vs Dicot.svg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Monocot_vs_Dicot.svg

    English: This diagram is showing the differences between monocotyledonous plants and dicotyledonous plants. Monocots have a single cotyledon and long and narrow leaves with parallel veins. Their vascular bundles are scattered. Their petals or flower parts are in multiples of three. Dicots have two cotyledons and broad leaves with network of veins.

  4. Plant stem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_stem

    The stem anatomy of ferns is more complicated than that of dicots because fern stems often have one or more leaf gaps in cross section. A leaf gap is where the vascular tissue branches off to a frond. In cross section, the vascular tissue does not form a complete cylinder where a leaf gap occurs.

  5. Monocotyledon reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monocotyledon_reproduction

    A solitary bee pollinating an Allium monocot flower. The monocots (or monocotyledons) are one of the two major groups of flowering plants (or Angiosperms), the other being the dicots (or dicotyledons). In order to reproduce they utilize various strategies such as employing forms of asexual reproduction, restricting which individuals they are ...

    Cotyledon from a Judas-tree (Cercis siliquastrum, a dicot) seedling Comparison of a monocot and dicot sprouting. The visible part of the monocot plant (left) is actually the first true leaf produced from the meristem; the cotyledon itself remains within the seed Schematic of epigeal vs hypogeal germination Peanut seeds split in half, showing the embryos with cotyledons and primordial root Two ...

  7. Epidermis (botany) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidermis_(botany)

    These are typically more elongated in the leaves of monocots than in those of dicots. Diagram of moderate scale leaf anatomy. Trichomes or hairs grow out from the epidermis in many species. In the root epidermis, epidermal hairs termed root hairs are common and are specialized for the absorption of water and mineral nutrients.

  8. Dicotyledon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicotyledon

    Aside from cotyledon number, other broad differences have been noted between monocots and dicots, although these have proven to be differences primarily between monocots and eudicots. Many early-diverging dicot groups have monocot characteristics such as scattered vascular bundles, trimerous flowers, and non-tricolpate pollen. [5]

  9. Root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root

    The cross-section of a barley root. Root morphology is divided into four zones: the root cap, the apical meristem, the elongation zone, and the hair. [4] The root cap of new roots helps the root penetrate the soil. These root caps are sloughed off as the root goes deeper creating a slimy surface that provides lubrication.
