As nouns the difference between taxonomy and monocotyledon

is that taxonomy is the science or the technique used to make a classification while monocotyledon is any plant whose seedlings typically have one cotyledon (seed leaf) (in contrast to the two cotyledons typical of dicots), thereby belonging to the taxonomic monocots, formerly variously known as class: Monocotyledones, class: Monocotyledonae, or Liliopsida, a class in the Angiospermae, the flowering plants.
