Can You Spot the Difference? Monocot vs Dicot Explained in 60 Seconds! Ready to quickly master the difference between monocots and dicots? In just 60 seconds, you’ll master the key traits that classify flowering plants—whether it’s grass, banana, or sunflower. Monocots (monocotyledons) have one seed leaf (cotyledon), parallel-veined leaves, flower parts in multiples of three, and scattered vascular bundles. Think grass and lilies—ideal for quick recognition. Dicots (dicotyledons) have two cotyledons, leaf veins branching from a central point, flower parts in sets of four or five, and vascular bundles arranged in rings. Example plants include roses and sunflowers—easy to spot once you know the cues.
