Identify the incorrect comparison between monocots and dicots in general:

Character Monocots Dicots
1. Leaves Parallel venation Reticulate venation
2. Roots Primary root of short duration, replaced by adventitial roots forming fibrous or fleshy root systems Develops from the radicle. Primary root often persists forming strong tap roots and secondary roots
3. Plant stem: Vascular bundles Ring of primary bundles with cambium, differentiated into cortex and stele Numerous scattered bundles in ground parenchyma, cambium mostly absent, no differentiation between cortical and stelar regions
4. Flowers Parts in threes (trimerous) or multiples of three Fours (tetramerous) or fives (pentamerous)
