They are seed plants, and are angiosperms. (flowering seed plants) Monocots: They have one cotyledon (which they store food in), flowers parts in threes, leaves are parallel veins, have bundles ofvasular tissue that are scattered. They include grasses, orchids, onions, lilies, ad palms. Dicots: They have two cotyledons, flower parts in four or fives, leaves are with branching veins, have bundles of vascular tissue in a ring. They include roses, cactuses, sunflowers, peanut, and peas. Believe me, these are all from my science text book!!!!!!!!!!

There are two types of plants, monocots and dicots. Monocots have vascular bundles that are randomly distributed and dicots have their vascular bundles in an organized ring.
Because God made it that way... just kidding. A monocot refers to any plant that has vascular bundles scattered around that stem whereas dicots have grouped vascular bundles. Monocots also have complete flowers or both male and female flowers on the same plant whereas dicots have incomplete flowers or only a male or female flower on one plant. Monocots can self pollinate, dicots require two plants for sexual reproduction.
It and all of the other members of the olive family are dicots.
A cotyledon is part of a seed. It is not a flower producing plant (angiosperms). Monocots and dicots, or monocotyledons and dicotyledons, are the two categories of flower producing plants.
Beans are dicots. Plant a bean seed in a sunny window and in a few days you will see for yourself. Two fairly large "leaves" will spring from the soil. These are the initial cotyledons that will help nourish the plant until its first real leaves form a few days later. The cotyledons will then cease to function and will usually turn yellowish and will fall off.
Dicots are woody, monocots are not. Dicots have two cotyledons, monocots have one. The flower petals group differently. Dicots have a three hole depression on their seeds, monocots have one. There are a few more differences that you can look up.

Monocots & Dicots
So sorry but you have that backwards. Bamboo which is a monocot is the fastest growing plant that there is. The reason for this is: monocots do not make as big an investment in their structural support, that is they do not grow as much wood as dicots.
There are two types of plants, monocots and dicots. Monocots have vascular bundles that are randomly distributed and dicots have their vascular bundles in an organized ring.
An embryo, a cotyledon, and a seed coat are the basic parts of a plant. Dicots have two cotyledons, monocots have one.
The seed leaf of a plant is the tiny leaf that forms inside the seed itself. It is called a cotyledon. Monocots have one seed leaf. Dicots have two.
Because God made it that way... just kidding. A monocot refers to any plant that has vascular bundles scattered around that stem whereas dicots have grouped vascular bundles. Monocots also have complete flowers or both male and female flowers on the same plant whereas dicots have incomplete flowers or only a male or female flower on one plant. Monocots can self pollinate, dicots require two plants for sexual reproduction.
A dicot, or a dicotyledon, is a type of plant. Dicots sprout two leaves when they begin to grow, as opposed to monocots, which sprout one leaf.
It and all of the other members of the olive family are dicots.
Dicot plants have secondary growth hence their stems are woody, in mocots true secondary growth is absent. The leaves of dicot plants have reticulate venation and monocots have parallel venation. The seeds in Dicots have two cotyledones in its embryo in monocots only one cotyledon in the form of scutellum is prominant.
A rose is a dicot. Roses are dicots. There are several ways to distinguish between dicots and monocots. The leaves of monocots have veins that begin at the base of the leaf and end at the tip without any branching (Lilly family). The dicot's vein starts at the bottom and branches or nets all over the leaf. (Roses). Monocots have three or combination of three petal etc in the flower(lillies). Dicots have four or five and their combinations in their flowers(Roses). Monocots have fibrous roots(lillies). Dicots have a tap root(Maples and roses).. Monocots have their Phloem and xylem in bundles throughout the plant( Palm trees). Dicots have theirs next to the cambium layer just under the bark (Roses and Oak). The seed of a monocot is one unit.(corn). When idt sprouts it sends up a single leaf. The seed of a dicot usually breaks in two easily Peanuts, beans and Roses) The seed sends up a stem with two leaves. These first two leaves are called the cotyledon leaves. The next two leaves are called true leaves. That's about as many differentiations I can quickly recall to distinguish between monocots and dicots.. If you can understand these differences you'll be able to identify almost all the monocots from dicots instantly.
