are grasses monocots or dicots
In agriculture the majority of the biomass produced comes from monocots. The true grasses, family Poaceae (Gramineae), are the most economically important family in this group. These include all the true grains (rice, wheat, maize, etc.), the pasture grasses, sugar cane, and the bamboos. Monocot (right) and dicot (left) plant classifications. Lawn weeds may be conveniently divided into two classes based on the way in which they emerge from the seed. Monocots emerge with a single seed leaf (monocotyledon) whereas dicots emerge with two seed leaves (dicotyledon) (Fig. 10.4). Sometimes, the adult leaves are pinnate, as in many palms, but the veins are parallel on each leaflet. There are several monocot plant families that are instantly recognisable. Many food plants are grasses. So crops like wheat, oats, barley and sweetcorn are all monocots. Most monocot weeds found in turf are termed weedy grasses. Examples include crabgrass, annual bluegrass, tall fescue, and quackgrass. Dicots, on the other hand, are termed broadleaf weeds and include such plants as dandelion, clover, ground ivy (creeping Charlie), knotweed, and plantain. A monocot has only one seed leaf (monocot is short for 'monocotyledon'. A cotyledon is a seed leaf, and 'mono' means one). This seed leaf is usually the same shape as the adult leaf, long and thin, and the leaf veins nearly always run parallel to the central midrib. 1 Perennial weeds have a life of more than two years, though new seeds may be produced every year (e.g., dandelion, clover, quackgrass, tall fescue)  Biennial weeds have a life span of two years, generally storing up food reserves in the leaves and roots the first year, producing flowers and seed the second. Monocots, Dicots and Eudicots Distinguished. Ben G. Bareja, Oct. 2012. The monocots or monocotyledons are plants that comprise of a common ancestor and all its descendants. Also called Monocotyledoneae or Liliopsida, they are flowering plants under phylum Anthophyta (also called Magnoliophyta or Angiospermae) of the kingdom Plantae. They include the grasses (also referred to as gramineous or graminaceous plants) which may be considered as the most important of all the families of plants (Simpson 2010). Aside from the monocots, the other members of the angiosperms used to be the traditionally described dicots or dicotyledons. In other words, the angiospermous plants were divided into two distinct classes: the monocotyledons or Monocotyledoneae, and the dicotyledons or Dicotyledoneae. Instead, the angiosperms are subdivided therein into two groups, the monocots and eudicots. The term eudicots, also called tricolpates, means true dicots and includes mostly the plants that were traditionally described as dicots. Monocotyledon species found in Montana number at least 615. The Montana Natural Heritage Program has identified a number of monocot species as Species of Concern. Monocotyledons are one of two major groups of flowering plants (or angiosperms) that are traditionally recognized, the other being dicotyledons, or dicots. Monocot seedlings typically have one cotyledon (seed-leaf), in contrast to the two cotyledons typical of dicots.
