Dicot plants, short for dicotyledonous plants, are a diverse group of angiosperms that exhibit some distinguishing characteristics. These plants are characterized by having two cotyledons, or seed leaves, which emerge during germination. Unlike monocot plants, dicots have flower parts occurring in multiples of four or five. The veins in dicot leaves are usually branched, forming a net-like pattern. Dicot plants encompass a wide range of species, including familiar examples such as roses, sunflowers, and maple trees. Their diverse nature and abundance make dicots an essential part of ecosystems and a fascinating subject of study for botanists around the world.#16#
