When the seeds of flowering plants sprout, they produce either one or two "seed leaves" called cotyledons ("cots" for short); these are generally different from the more mature leaves produced later. The plants with one seed leaf are the monocots; the others are the dicots. This division is the chief classification among flowering plants and is associated with numerous other differences as well.
