Dicot Plant with Flower and Leaf

Dicot plants are similar to monocot plants but have slight differences. Dicot plants have two cotyledons, the leave stems are branched and petals of flowers have petals in multiples of four or five. The stems of these plants that have been in the process of growing for two or more years and are not annual plants. Following these two years, the plant stem gets thicker and more sturdy than a monocot stem. Dicot (woody) stems can be as large as a tree trunk or as small as the stem shown in this photo. Some examples are peas, beans and tomatoes as shown in this picture.
