Class Magnoliopsida
Class Information:
The word "Dicots" deserves an explanation. It is short for two cotyledons, what science refers to as "embrionic leaves". Cotyledons are leaves that form inside these flowering plants' seeds. When they germinate, these become the plants' first leaves. They stay until the permanent leaves begin to grow. Monocots (see Class Liliopsida) have only one cotyledon.
