Which types of plants usually have reticulate venation?

Plants that usually have reticulate venation are dicot plants, which have leaves with a network-like arrangement of veins. In these plants, smaller veins branch out from the main vein and spread across the leaf surface.

Examples of plants with reticulate venation include hibiscus, rose, pea, gram (chana), beans, and sunflower. These plants commonly have a taproot system, where a main root grows downward and smaller roots develop from it.

Reticulate venation helps in the movement of water, minerals, and prepared food within the leaf. Observing this leaf pattern helps identify plant groups and understand the relationship between different plant features such as roots, leaves, and seed structure.
