Question: Are maple trees considered monocots or dicots?
Quick Answer: Taxonomists classify maple trees as dicots.
Why Are Maple Trees Considered Dicots?
Maple Trees are considered dicots because they have two seed leaves that spring up to nourish the sprout until the primary leaves start developing. Other dicot characteristics maples possess include roots that diverge from a central core, leaf veins that radiate throughout the leaves, and a woody trunk with bark covering.
