Also known as Monocotyledons, endogens

Monocotyledons (), commonly referred to as monocots, (Lilianae sensu Chase & Reveal) are flowering plants whose seeds contain only one embryonic leaf, or cotyledon. A monocot taxon has been in use for several decades, but with various ranks and under several different names. The APG IV system recognises its monophyly but does not assign it to a taxonomic rank, and instead uses the term "monocots" to refer to the group.

AI overview

Monocots are flowering plants that have seeds containing just one embryonic leaf, distinguishing them from other flowering plants that have two. This group is important enough that scientists have studied and classified it for decades, and modern classification systems recognize monocots as a distinct biological group, though they're not assigned a single formal ranking level.
