Flowering

Plants also need flowers to reproduce. Flowering occurs after the plant's adulthood which produces the pollen for fertilization. Below is a diagram of plants flowering:


Below are images of what a flowering corn and carrot plant should look like:

Monocots and dicots are the two types of flowering plants. My baby corn plant is a monocot and my baby carrot plant is a dicot. Below is a table showing the major characteristics within the two.

MONOCOTS	DICOTS
Embryo with single cotyledon	Embryo with two cotyledons
Pollen with single furrow or pore	Pollen with three furrows or pores
Flower parts in multiples of three	Flower parts in multiples of four or five
Major leaf veins parallel	Major leaf veins reticulated
Stem vacular bundles scattered	Stem vascular bundles in a ring
Roots are adventitious	Roots develop from radicle
Secondary growth absent	Secondary growth often present

Some other examples include:
Monocots: palm, bamboo, grass
Dicots: roses, oak, fruit trees
