WHAT DOES MONOCOTYLEDONOUS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

monocotyledonous

Monocotyledon

Monocotyledons, also known as monocots, are one of two major groups of flowering plants that are traditionally recognized, the other being dicotyledons, or dicots. Monocot seedlings typically have one cotyledon, in contrast to the two cotyledons typical of dicots. Monocots have been recognized at various taxonomic ranks, and under various names. The APG III system recognises a clade called "monocots" but does not assign it to a taxonomic rank. According to the IUCN there are 59,300 species of monocots. The largest family in this group by number of species are the orchids, with more than 20,000 species. In agriculture the majority of the biomass produced comes from monocots. The true grasses, family Poaceae, are the most economically important family in this group. These include all the true grains, the pasture grasses, sugar cane, and the bamboos. True grasses have evolved to become highly specialised for wind pollination. Grasses produce much smaller flowers, which are gathered in highly visible plumes.
