The eudicots

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eudicots are a major group of angiosperms that include many herbs, vines, shrubs, and trees. They are the largest and most diverse angiosperm group, with over 175,000 species. The magnoliids are a different group of angiosperms, and eudicots are not the only extant angiosperm clade. Orchids and palm trees are not eudicots, but rather belong to other major groups of angiosperms. Eudicots are a clade, defined by shared characteristics such as the presence of two cotyledons in the seed and reticulate venation in the leaves.
