Family Relationships

Newt is a baby monocot. This means that monocots like him develop flowers in 3s, unlike his dicot brother who will develop them in 4s and 5s. His vascular bundles, the transport system,  will be scattered whereas his cousins will be ring structured. His roots will be fibrous and not a taproot like his little brother will develop. I am proud to say that Newt is related to grass, palm, and orchids. Where his little brother is related to the mighty oak, rose, and sunflower. I am proud of who my kids are related to.
