Monocots vs. Dicots Characteristics

The video explains the differences between two types of angiosperms: monocots and dicots. It covers their structural differences in cotyledons, vascular systems, leaves, roots, and flowers. Monocots have one cotyledon, parallel leaf veins, fibrous roots, and flower petals in multiples of three. Dicots have two cotyledons, web-like leaf veins, a tap root, and flower petals in multiples of four or five. The video emphasizes identifying these differences in real-life plants.
