Which plants are common examples of dicots?

Common examples of dicot plants include hibiscus, rose, pea, gram (chana), beans, sunflower, and many flowering plants. These plants are grouped as dicots because their seeds contain two cotyledons or seed leaves.

Dicot plants usually share some common features that make them easier to identify. Their leaves often show reticulate venation, where veins create a network-like pattern. They also commonly have a taproot system with one main root and smaller side roots.

Although dicot plants can differ in height, shape, flowers, and habitats, their seed structure, root type, and leaf patterns show similarities. Observing examples of dicot plants helps students understand plant classification and the variety of characteristics found in the plant kingdom.
