Monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants differ in several key anatomical features: Monocotyledons have one cotyledon, parallel veins, complex vascular bundles, fibrous root systems, and floral parts usually in multiples of three. Dicotyledons have two cotyledons, netlike veins, vascular bundles arranged in a ring, usually a taproot, and floral parts usually in multiples of four or five. Unlike dicots, monocot stems grow from the inside and rarely have a cambium layer. Monocots are thought to have evolved from water lily-like dicots approximately 90 million years ago.

2. MEANINGS
Cotyledon
- a type of leaf that is part of the developing plant
inside a seed
Dicotyledon
- A plant that produces flowers and has two
cotyledons
Monocotyledon
- A plant that produces flowers and only has one
cotyledon

5. Fun Facts!
 Unlike dicots, monocot stems grow from the
inside. Dicots have a cambium, which is the
layer of growing cells near the outside of the
stem. Monocots rarely have a cambium.
 Monocots are thought to have appeared about
90 million years ago, developing from water lily
like dicots that lived in swamps.
