What is the difference between a monocot and a dicot?
assistant
1. The most obvious difference between monocots and dicots is in their leaves.
2. Monocots also tend to have a fibrous root system, while dicots have a taproot system of growth.
3. Monocots tend to be early-colonizing species, and are considered pioneer plants due to their capacity to quickly establish and reproduce in a new environment.
