Study Notes
Angiosperms Classification
- Monocots: Angiosperms characterized by a single seed leaf (cotyledon).
- Dicots: Angiosperms that have two seed leaves (cotyledons).
Leaf and Root Structures
- Parallel Veins: Feature of monocots where veins run in straight lines, enhancing structural support and function.
- Fibrous Roots: Monocot feature consisting of a mass of thin roots, with examples including coconut, bamboo, and grasses.
Vein Patterns
- Reticulate Veins: Present in dicots, forming a netted pattern that increases surface area for photosynthesis and water transport.
- Taproot: A prominent root system found in dicots, consisting of a single primary root that grows thicker and deeper than others.
Plant Typology
- Monocotyledon: Refers to plants with a single cotyledon; commonly known as monocots.
- Dicotyledon: Refers to plants with seeds that divide into two halves easily; commonly known as dicots.
