1. Seed structure: Monocotyledons have seeds with only one cotyledon (seed leaf), while dicotyledons have seeds with two cotyledons.
2. Leaf venation: Monocotyledons have parallel venation in their leaves, while dicotyledons have reticulate (net-like) venation.
3. Flower parts: Monocotyledons typically have flower parts in multiples of three (e.g. 3 petals, 6 stamens), while dicotyledons have flower parts in multiples of four or five.
4. Root system: Monocotyledons have fibrous roots, while dicotyledons have a taproot system.
5. Stem structure: Monocotyledons have scattered vascular bundles in their stems, while dicotyledons have vascular bundles arranged in a ring.
6. Pollen structure: Monocotyledons have pollen grains with a single furrow or pore, while dicotyledons have pollen grains with three furrows or pores.
7. Growth pattern: Monocotyledons typically have a more uniform growth pattern, with leaves emerging one at a time from the center of the plant, while dicotyledons often have a branching growth pattern.
8. Examples: Examples of monocotyledons include grasses, lilies, and orchids, while examples of dicotyledons include roses, sunflowers, and beans.

Monocotyledon
- Seed structure: One seed leaf (cotyledon) - Root system: Fibrous root system with adventitious roots - Leaf venation: Parallel leaf venation - Stem vascular bundles: Scattered vascular bundles - Flower parts: Flower parts occur in multiples of three (e.g., three sepals, three petals) - Pollen: One furrow (monocolpate) or three furrows (tricolpate) on the pollen grain - Fruit: Usually a berry, drupe, or achene - Examples: Grasses, lilies, palms, orchids
Dicotyledon
- Seed structure: Two seed leaves (cotyledons) - Root system: Taproot system with lateral roots - Leaf venation: Netted or reticulate leaf venation - Stem vascular bundles: Arranged in a ring - Flower parts: Flower parts occur in multiples of four or five (e.g., four sepals, five petals) - Pollen: Three furrows (tricolpate) on the pollen grain - Fruit: Usually a capsule, follicle, or legume - Examples: Roses, sunflowers, tomatoes, oak trees
