Question

Monocot seed vs. dicot seed characteristics ?

Answer 1

Monocots have only one seed leaf inside the seed coat. It is often only a thin leaf, because the endosperm to feed the new plant is not inside the seed leaf. Dicots have two seed leaves inside theseed coat. They are usually rounded and fat, because they contain the endosperm to feed the embryo plant. [Credit to: Monocots and Dicots - The seed site]
