Dicotyledonous Plants
The dicotyledons, also known as dicots, was a grouping formerly used for the flowering plants whose seed typically has two cotyledons (seed leaves)
Monocotyledonous Plants
Monocotyledons also known as monocots, are one of two major groups of flowering plants that are traditionally recognized, the other being dicotyledons, or dicots. Monocot seedlings typically have one cotyledon (seed leaf).
Picture example of Monocots and Dicots
Dicots VS MonocotsFeature In monocots In dicots
Number of parts of each flower in threes in fours or fives

Arrangement of xylems and phloems in the stem
scattered in concentric circles
RootsAdventitous (Grows from an unusual location)
Develops from the radicle (plant embryo which develops into roots
Arrangement of major leaf veins parallel Divided, but still
resemble a network
