PLANTS AND THEIR STRUCTURE II
Monocots and Dicots
Angiosperms, flowering plants, are divided into two groups: monocots and dicots.

Monocot seeds have one "seed leaf" termed a cotyledon (in fact monocot is a shortening of monocotyledon). Dicots have two cotyledons. Both groups, however, have the same basic architecture of nodes, internodes, etc.

Monocot stems have scattered vascular bundles. Dicot stems have their vascular bundles in a ring arrangement. Monocot stems have most of their vascular bundles near the outside edge of the stem. The bundles are surrounded by large parenchyma in the cortex region. There is no pith region in monocots. Dicot stems have bundles in a ring surrounding parenchyma cells in a pith region. Between the bundles and the epidermis are smaller (as compared to the pith) parenchyma cells making up the cortex region. Monocot roots, interestingly, have their vascular bundles arranged in a ring. Dicot roots have their xylem in the center of the root and phloem outside the xylem. A carrot is an example of a dicot root.

Monocot leaves have their leaf veins arranged parallel to each other and the long axis of the leaf (parallel vennation). An common example of this is the husk of corn or a blade of grass (both are monocots). Dicot leaves have an anastamosing network of veins arising from a mid-vein termed net vennation. Examples of dicot leaves include maples, oaks, geraniums, and dandelions.
Monocots have their flower parts in threes or multiples of three; example the tulip and lily (Lilium ). Dicots have their flower parts in fours (or multiples) or fives (or multiples). Examples of some common dicot flowers include the geranium, snapdragon, and citrus.

Secondary Growth
Secondary growth is produced by a cambium. It occurs in rows or ranks of cork, secondary xylem or secondary phloem cells. Cork cells (produced by a cork cambium) are technically part of the epidermis, and contribute to the bark of woody stems.
Dicot secondary growth occurs by growth of vascular cambium, to complete a full vascular cylinder around the plant. Secondary xylem is produced to the inside of the vascular cambium, secondary phloem to the outside. The living parts of the woody plant are next to the vascular cambium.

At the end of each growing season, the vascular cambium stops growing, forming a growth ring.

Monocots usually don't have secondary growth. Some, such as bamboo and palm trees, have secondary growth. Monocot secondary growth differs from dicot secondary growth in that new bundles are formed at the edge of the stem. These new bundles are close together, providing support for the stem.
The Leaf
The leaf consists of the (generally) flat blade, one or more leaf veins, a petiole, and usually an axillary bud. The petiole can be long (as in celery and bok-choy) or short (as in cabbage and lettuce). Leaves may be simple or compound: simple leaves have a single subdivision or leaflet, compound leaves have more than one leaflet. Leaves attach to stems at nodes (internodes are the spaces between nodes). Leaf phyllotaxy is the pattern exhibited (spiral, opposite, alternate, whorled) of leaf attachment to a stem.
