2. Plants are broadly classified into two
categories
 Angiosperms (flowering plants)
 Gymnosperms ( i.e. naked seeds or non flowering
plants)
Two basic groups of flowering plants
are ;
Monocotyledons
Dicotyledons

4. Dicotyledon byname dicot, any member of the
flowering plants or angiosperms that has a pair
of leaves or cotyledons in the embryo of the
seed.
Examples of dicot plant families are as follows:
Leguminosae
Mimosaceae

5.  Out of the 400 plant families
 that belong to the group of angiosperms
about 80 are monocots rest all are dicots.

6. Dicot plants differ in structures of their
 seeds
 leaves
 stem
 flowers
from the monocots on the basis of Cotyledons.

7.  Dicot roots have
 Central taproot meaning
they form a single thick
root with lateral branches
that grows deep into the
soil.

8.  The Dicot Stem contains
vascular bundles arranged in
a ring around the pith.
 Vascular bundle is conjoint,
collateral and open.
 Stem contains two cotyledon
or embryonic leaf called as
dicotyledonous stem or dicot
stems.

9.  Their leaves are simple, broad, petiolate or
sessile.
 Their margin is serrate and their apex is
acute.
 The veins are actually netted or webbed on
the whole surface of the leaf.

10.  The flower parts are
 Dicot usually present in fours or fives
 Sometimes they are found in multiples of
either number.
 These flower parts include ;
 Petals, sepals and the reproductive parts of
the plant.

12.  There are two cotyledons in the seeds of these plants.
 That actually emerge above the soil when the seed
germinates.
 They then turn green and form the first two leaves of
the new plant.

13. Conclusion
 Dicot plants usually have ;
Flower with petals in multiples of four or five
Large leaf veins that will be netlike instead of
all being parallel
Their roots usually grow with a taproot .
Having two embryonic leaves.
