When we're talking about flowering plants, there are two main types: Monocots and Dicots. Some examples of monocots are corn, grass, and palm trees. Dicots include oak trees, daisies, and roses. There are Five Signs that a plant is either a monocot or a dicot.

There are Five Signs that a plant is either a monocot or a dicot. Sometimes one of the signs won't help very much, or you won't be able to look at the part of the plant you need to. Luckily for us, we have five! If one fails us, then we have other four to fall back on. The Five Signs: 1) Cotyledons 2) Number of Petals 3) Stems 4) Secondary Growth 5) Leaves

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

So do these five signs make a plant monocot or dicot?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, I believe so. I'm not quite sure though, you can also look at this site to help you too http://www.sciencemonster.com/life-science/monocots-dicots/monocots-dicots-01.html
