Monocarpic Plant

Description

A monocarpic plant is a type of plant that flowers, produces seeds, and then dies. Unlike polycarpic plants, which can flower and produce seeds multiple times throughout their lifespan, monocarpic plants complete their reproductive cycle once and then wither away.

Sense 1: Botany

Part of Speech: Noun

A monocarpic plant refers to any plant that flowers only once in its lifetime. The term is commonly used in botanical studies to describe plants with a single instance of flowering.

Example sentence: The Agave americana is a well-known monocarpic plant, taking anywhere from 10 to 30 years to flower before eventually dying.
