Answer:
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MONOCOT LEAF AND DICOT LEAF ??
Monocot Leaf
Monocotyledons or Monocots are flowering plants with seeds having a single cotyledon or embryonic leaf. There are about 60000 species of monocots found worldwide.
Monocot leaves are slender and elongated with parallel veins. Compared to other forms of veins, in parallel venation, the veins are small in size with even smaller veins connecting them.
Monocots have flower parts in sets of three. Their roots are fibrous. A few examples of Monocots are Bananas, Palm trees, Grasses, water plantains, Lilies, and Orchids.
Dicot Leaf
Dicotyledons or Dicots are flowering plants with seeds having two cotyledons or embryonic leaves. There are 175000 known species of dicots.
The leaves of a dicot plant have veins distributed in a net-like or reticulated pattern. In such leaves, the veins appear like a finely branched network throughout the leaf blade, with thin veins reticulating between the prominent veins.
The flower parts in Dicots are tetramerous or pentamerous, i.e. in multiples of four or five. Dicots have a tap root system with a long deep primary root growing into finer secondary branches.
Some examples for the Dicots are Oaks, Elms, Maples, Mango, Papaya, Radish, Rose, Castor, and Guava.
