whats the difference between an angiosperm and a monocot?

Angiosperms are a huge clade (a group of biological taxa (as species) that includes all descendants of one common ancestor) consisting of all flowering plants. Angiosperm seeds develop inside chambers ("angion" = container in Greek) called ovaries, which originate within flowers and mature into fruits. Actually nearly 90% of iving plant species arengo sperms.

Monocots are actually one of two classes of angiosperms. They are angiosperm species with one (mono = one in Greek) cotyledon, the first leaf or one of the first pair or whorl of leaves developed by the embryo, or simply just seed leaves. The other class are the Dicots with two cotyledons.

Monocots can also be described by their features, such as flower and leaf structure. Monocots typically have parallel leaf veins (think of grass blade), while dicot veins have a netlike pattern (think of an oak leaf).

Examples of monocots are orchids, palms and, grain crops such as maize, wheat and rice.

Dicots are roses, peas, sunflowers, and maples.

Hope these quick descriptions help! I can go on and on but I figure I'll probably just bore you. :D

Cheers!

There is no difference because monocot is a type of angiosperm.

Angiosperm are divided into two groups:

Monocot and dicot

Monocots

Seeds:one nutrient storage area (cotyledon)

Leaves:parallel veins

Flowers:flower parts in 3

Roots: many fibrous roots

Stem Vascular Tissue:bundles scattered throughout the stem

Dicots

Seeds: two nutrient storage areas (cotyledons)

Leaves: net or branching veins

Flowers: flower parts in 2, 4, or 5

Roots: one main taproot (may have smaller roots branching off)

Stem Vascular Tissue:bundles arranged in a ring

corn, lilly, onion, grasses are monocots

beans, peas are dicots
