Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) is a monocot because it belongs to the family Poaceae (Gramineae), which is a family of monocotyledonous flowering plants. Monocotyledonous plants are characterized by having only one cotyledon (or seed leaf) in their embryonic stage, as opposed to dicotyledonous plants, which have two cotyledons.
Other characteristics that distinguish monocots from dicots include parallel-veined leaves, flower parts in multiples of three, scattered vascular bundles in the stem, and a fibrous root system. Lemongrass displays these characteristics, including parallel-veined leaves, which are long and slender, and a fibrous root system that helps it to spread and grow rapidly.
Monocots are a diverse group of plants that include many economically important species, such as grasses, palms, lilies, and orchids. The monocot group is one of the two major groups of angiosperms (flowering plants), the other being dicots.
