monocotyledoneae
Monocotyledoneae, commonly known as monocots, represent one of the two major classes of flowering plants, the other being dicotyledoneae. The defining characteristic of a monocot is that its seed contains only one cotyledon, or embryonic leaf, which is present during germination. This contrasts with dicots, which have two cotyledons.
Monocots are distinguished by several other key morphological features. Their leaves typically exhibit parallel venation, meaning
Economically, monocots are incredibly important. This group includes many of the world's staple food crops, such
