Pollen: In monocots, pollen has one furrow or pore while in dicots they have three.

Seeds: In monocots, the embryo has one cotyledon while the embryo of the dicot has two.

Stems: In monocots, vascular bundles in the stem are scattered, in dicots arranged in a ring.

Roots: In monocots, roots are adventitious, while in dicots they develop from the radicle.

Leaves: In monocots, the major leaf veins are parallel, while in dicots they are reticulate.
