Question

You are involved in a biodiversity survey and encounter a meadow of grass. How would you best describe the grass?

Answer 1

Answer:

Monocot

Explanation:

All flowering plants (Angiosperms) are classified into monocots and dicots. Monocotyledons are plants that have one seed leaf (cotyledon) when the seeds germinate. These plants also have other features such as, for example, parallel-veined leaves, adventitious root system, flower parts in multiples of threes (i.e., 3, 6 or 9 petals), etc. Poaceae (Gramineae), also known as grasses, is a large family of monocotyledonous plants. Therefore, all the grasses are monocot.
