Why Gabi is mono cot?

Gabi, or grass, is classified as a monocot because it possesses characteristics typical of monocotyledonous plants, such as having a single seed leaf (cotyledon), parallel leaf veins, and flower parts typically in multiples of three. Additionally, monocots generally have fibrous root systems rather than a taproot. These traits help distinguish it from dicots, which have two seed leaves and different leaf and flower structures.
