A monocot is a plant that has only one cotyledon, a kind of pre-leaf that functions until real leaves are grown, as an embryo. Monocot leaves are often long and narrow, and grow more isolated than in dicots. Examples are grasses and palms.

What is the function of ligules?

Ligules are small, strap-like structures located at the junction of the leaf blade and sheath in grasses and some other plants. They serve to protect the emerging leaf from pathogens and prevent water loss by sealing the leaf sheath. Additionally, ligules can play a role in water and nutrient absorption, as well as assist in the plant's overall growth and development.

Is maize a dicotyledon plant?

No, maize (corn) is not a dicotyledon plant; it is a monocotyledon. Monocots, like maize, typically have one embryonic leaf or cotyledon, parallel leaf venation, and flower parts in multiples of three. In contrast, dicotyledons have two cotyledons, net-like leaf venation, and flower parts in multiples of four or five.
