Explain how you would distinguish a monocot from a eudicot by looking at the anatomy of their roots.

Monocot

A classification of flowering plants (angiosperms) characterized by having one cotyledon, parallel leaf veins, and flower parts usually in multiples of three.

Eudicot

A major group of flowering plants that are characterized by having two seed leaves, or cotyledons, and usually a broad range of floral arrangements.

Anatomy

The branch of biology concerned with the study of the structure of organisms and their parts; a detailed examination of the physical structure of organisms.
