Briefly mention 3 differences between monocotyledon and dicotyledon plants

These question, took my mind back to secondary school days that i was taught that mono stands for one while dicot stands for two. In the differences, I will apply the knowledge here;

S/N	Monocotyledon	Dicotyledon
1	Monocotyledon are found with Fibrous roots	Dicotyledon has Tap roots
2	They have Seed leaf only	They have many leaves
3	Monocotyledon is known to have Scattered vascular tissue	Dicot had Ring-shaped vascular tissue in them

Name 5 examples of monocotyledon and dicotyledon plant

   Example of monocotyledon 

Zea may

Sugarcane

Rice

Bamboo

Wheat

  Example of dicotyledon plant

Sunflower

Cucumber

Apple tree

Tomatoe

Oak tree
