Question: Are palm trees classified as monocots or dicots?
Quick Answer: Taxonomists classify palm trees as monocots.
Why Are Palm Trees Considered Monocots?
Palm trees are monocots because they have a single embryonic leaf that grows from their seeds. Not actual trees that produce wood, palms have scattered vascular bundles that support the stem with the help of overlapping leaves. This further strengthens their classification as a monocot.
