These are the 2 big groups of *Angiosperms* = flowering plants with covered
seeds.
*1. Basic Meaning - Name se hi pata chal jata hai*
**Type** **Full Form** **Meaning** **Urdu**
**Monocots** Mono = one, Cot = cotyledon Seed has **1 leaf** inside **اﯾﮏ ﭘﺘﯽ
**واﻻ ﺑﯿﺞ
**Dicots** Di = two, Cot = cotyledon Seed has **2 leaves** inside **دو ﭘﺘﯽ واﻻ
**ﺑﯿﺞ
Cotyledon = baby leaf/food store in seed. Jab beej ugta hai to ye pehle 1 ya 2
patte nazar atay hain.
*2. 10 Main Differences - Exam + Concept ke liye*
**Feature** **Monocots - ** **اﯾﮏ ﭘﺘﯽ واﻟﮯDicots - **دو ﭘﺘﯽ واﻟﮯ
**1. Seed leaves** **1 cotyledon** **2 cotyledons**
**2. Leaves veins** **Parallel veins** - lines seedhi seedhi, jese grass **Reticulate
veins** - jaali/Net jesi veins, jese mango leaf
**3. Flower parts** Flower parts in **3s or multiples of 3** - 3 petals, 6
stamens Flower parts in **4s or 5s** - 4 or 5 petals
**4. Roots** **Fibrous root system** - jhaar jesi bareek roots. No main root
**Taproot system** - 1 mota main root + choti roots. Jese mooli, gajar
**5. Stem** Stem soft, **no wood**. Vascular bundles scattered/bikhre hue
Stem hard, **wood banta hai** trees mein. Vascular bundles circle mein
**6. Pollen grains** Pollen has **1 pore** Pollen has **3 pores**
**7. Secondary growth** **No** - stem mota nahi hota. Grass hamesha patli
rehti **Yes** - trees motay hotay hain har saal. Lakri banti hai
**8. Examples** Wheat, Rice, Maize, Onion, Grass, Banana, Palm Mango, Gram/
Chana, Rose, Pea, Sunflower, Apple, Mustard
**9. PK examples** Gandum, Chawal, Makai, Piyaz Chana, Sarson, Aam, Gulab
**10. % of plants** ~25% of all flowering plants ~75% of all flowering plants
*3. Easy Way to Identify in Daily Life*
*Monocot hai agar:*
1. Patta lambi patli hai + veins seedhi - Grass, wheat leaf, maize leaf
2. Phool mein 3, 6, 9 petals - Lilli, onion flower, banana flower
3. Jarain jhaar jesi hain - Sab grass family
4. Lakri nahi banti - Koi bhi monocot tree nahi banta, sirf palm jesa
*Dicot hai agar:*
1. Patta chaura hai + jaali wali veins - Mango, neem, rose leaf
2. Phool mein 4 ya 5 petals - Chana, sarson, gulab, tamatar
3. 1 moti jar hai - Mooli, gajar, shaljam sab dicot
4. Darakht banta hai - Aam, sheesham, deodar - sab dicot
*4. Why This Difference Exists?*
