Those plants whose seeds do not easily separate and have only one cotyledon are the monocotyledons, or "monocots" for short. Which plant is a monocot? One of these seeds should separate easily into two equal halves, called cotyledons. Plants with seeds having two cotyledons are called dicotyledons, or "dicots" for short. Of the seeds you examine, which plant is a dicot?
