Is cauliflower monoecious

Answer 1

Cauliflower is not monoecious; it is a biennial plant that is typically grown as an annual. It produces flowers that are primarily hermaphroditic, meaning each flower has both male and female reproductive structures. However, the plant itself does not have distinct male and female organs on the same individual, which is characteristic of monoecious plants. Instead, cauliflower is cultivated for its edible flower buds before it bolts to produce seeds in its second year.
