| Racemose inflorescence | Cymose inflorescence | |
| Younger flowers are present at the tip while older flowers are arranged at the base of this inflorescence. Such an arrangement is called acropetal succession. | Younger flowers are present at the base of the inflorescence, while older flowers are present at the top. Such an arrangement is called basipetal succession. | |
| The main axis in racemose inflorescence continues to grow and produce flowers laterally. | The main axis in cymose inflorescence has limited growth, which later terminates into a flower. |
| Fibrous root | Adventitious root |
| In monocots, the primary root which develops from the radicle of the seed is short-lived and is replaced by a large number of roots arising from the base of the stem. | These roots arise from any part of the plant other than the radicle of seeds. |
| It is found in wheat and other cereals. | It is found in banyan, Monstera, and other plants. |
| Apocarpous ovary | Syncarpous ovary | |
| The flowers with apocarpous ovary have more than one carpel. These carpels are free. | The flowers with syncarpous ovary have more than one carpel. However, these carpels are fused | |
| It is found in lotus and rose flowers. | It is found in the flowers of tomato and mustard. |
