Phaeodactylum	Diatoms	0
Volvox	Green algae	0
A moss	Bryophytes	12
Spike moss	Lycophytes	38
Rice	Monocots	55
Poplar tree	Dicots	53

Features Features The presence of a single cotyledon in the seedling is the most common way to identify monocot plants. Veins that run parallel to the length of the leaves and flower sections that are arranged in a three or six-fold symmetry are some of the anatomical characteristics shared by monocots. Monocots have very little true woody tissue and an adventitious root system. They lack a typical cambium and have scattered vascular bundles.
