Besides these leaves, each young pea has a little stem and a tiny root.

Bamboo is also a monocarpic plant. But it can take more than 100 years for some bamboo species to flower, and even then, sometimes their roots push up new plants.

Neither coconut trees nor palm trees are real trees—they're monocots, a group of plants that includes grasses, orchids, corn, and more.
