(Cucurbita-dicot, Borassus-monocot).If they are not lobed they converge at the apex. Oryza (monocot), Hibiscus (dicot). â¢ Arrangement of the leaves on the stem is called phyllotaxy .In alternate or spiral phyllotaxy one leaf is present at each node and arranged spirally on the stem.The number of rows on the stem is a genetic character. Each row is called Orthostichy (distichy, tristichy etc).NIT âII Morphology of Angiosperms Synopsis Root system and Root Modifications â¢ Dicots show tap root system and monocots show fibrous root system. â¢ Adventitious roots develop both in dicots and monocots. Fibrous roots of monocots are adventitious. â¢ Branches on roots are endogenous in origin.
