FLOWERING PLANTS
We get most of our food from flowering
plants such as grains, beans, nuts, fruit,
vegetables, herbs and spices.
A flowering flower makes other flowers in
its reproductive cycle. Female flowers
contain pistils which is the seed bearing
organ of a flower. Pistils create seeds
when fertilized by pollen from a male
flower.
NON-FLOWERING PLANTS
Non flowering plants do not have
flowers. They have to reproduce in their
own way. Non flowering plants grow
from pores not seeds. Pores are little
holes in the plant which liquids or gas
can go into.
Montocolyedons
Monocots is one of the
two largest flowering
plants group. A monocot
has one seed leaf.
Moncots have narrow
leaves with veins going in
the same direction as the
leaf. The leaves have
smooth edges and hollow
or soft stems.
Diocotyledons
Diocots are the other half of
the two largest groups of
flowering plants. Diocots
have two seed leaves. The
older leaves have netted
patterned veins on them.
Usually a Diocots flower has
five or four parts.
Monocots vs. Diocots
What is the difference?
The difference between them is a
monocots have one seed leaf and a
Diocots have two seed leaves. Monocots
have parallel veins to the leaf and Diocots
have netted pattered veins.
The Key
Q1. Does it Flower?
a) No. Then it is a non flowering plant.
b) Yes. Go to 2.
Q2. Does it have two seeded leaves?
a) Yes. It is a Diocotyledons.
b) No. It is a Montocolyedons.
