A flower can either be classified as a monocot or a dicot depending on the number of petals present on the flower.
Explanation:
- Monocot also known as monocotyledon are characterized by the presence of one sees leaf (cotyledon) inside the embryo
The seed leaf is often thin because the endosperm which is required to feed the young plant is not found inside the seed leaf. In monocot flower a the number of petals is 3 or a multiple of 3. Examples of monocot flowers include; Asparagales, Wedges, Bromeliads, Poles.
- Dicots also known as dicotyledons are flowering plants that have two seed leaf. In a dicot flower the number of petals is 4 or 5 or a multiple of 4 or 5. Examples of dicot flowers include; Roses, Magnolas, Sunflower, Geranium.
