Monocots and dicots
Flowering plants come in two big groups. Monocots, like wheat, rice, grass and lilies, have a seed that doesn't split, long narrow leaves with straight veins, roots like a bunch of threads, and petals in threes. Dicots, like beans, roses and sunflowers, have a seed that splits into two halves, broad leaves with branching veins, one main root, and petals in fours or fives.
