    Your question is too broad. Cacti are dicots and palms are monocots, both do well in dry areas.

    Dicots. That's why they outnumber the monocots in every terrestrial biome. The flourish in great numbers. The angiosperms dominate the earth's flora, and the dicots dominate the monocots. Isn't that how we define "doing better"?

    It really depends on the family...but I'd say monocots. In dicots, the family Nymphaeales is pretty much exclusively aquatic species...but really, it depends on the family. There are aquatic dicots and monocots.
