The difference between dicot and monocot leaf is due to the factors like the venation pattern and symmetry. Venation pattern: Monocot leaf shows parallel venation, i.e. in this kind of leaves the veins strike parallel to each other. Dicot leaf shows reticulate venation, i.e. in this the veins of leaf strike towards each other. Symmetry: …
