Grouping Cotyledons On Basis Of Leaves Venation Monocotyledon Dicotyledon Here , The veins of leaf are running Parallel . So , Dicotyledons have Recticulate venation . Grouping Cotyledons On Basis Of Roots StructureMonocotyledon Dicotyledon Here , There is bunch of similar size roots . So , Monocotyledons have Fibrous System . Here , There is 1 main root and many side roots . So , Dicotyledons have Taproot System . Summary Monocotyledon Dicotyledon Plants that have seeds with one cotyledon is called Monocotyledon. They are also called Monocot Plants . They have Parallel venation . They have Fibrous System . Plants that have seeds with two cotyledon is called Dicotyledon . They are also called Dicot Plants .
