Remember that the monocot is typically considered an annual plant whereas the dicot is typically considered to be a perennial or woody plant. The most significant difference will be in a more mature cross section. In older dicots you will find both primary and secondary vascular tissue, both xylem and phloem. This distinction is not evident in the monocot. The biggest difference between the two however is the presence or absence of the central pith. Monocots have the vascular bundle centrally located right through the center of the stem. The Dicot has a pith core running through the center of the stem with a ring of vascular tissue surrounding the pith center. In more mature stems, one will find that the monocot has a radial distribution of individual vascular bundles throughout the stem. Dicots always have the vascular tissue in discrete rings.

A monocot leaf has vertical lines which are parallel to each other.These help to support the leaves.A dicot on the other hand has veins which are connected to a strong structure called the midriff.The veins of a dicot are irregular as compared to a monocot.

In monocots, the major leaf veins are parallel, while in dicots they are reticulate(scattered).
