I need to do a drawing of a monocot with two modifications...either one stem and one leaf, or one leaf and one root etc.
I need to do the same with a dicot. But so far I can't find a plant with more than one modification. Does anyone know any??

Pumpkins are dicot, their leaves are prickly as a 'defense mechanism' to ward of any creature that might want to eat the fruit. They tend to grow and extend, the roots grow into whatever surface it can and has vines that coil around surrounding environment. ( i know this because we have pumpkins growing in the backyard and the roots are wrapped around our porch swing)

You could draw a close up of a pumpkin leaf, and the way the roots grow.

Here are some other fun facts that might help:

Bulbs In some monocots, leaf bases grow to form bulbs, underground organs used for food
storage. They can be identified from the series of leaf bases fitting inside each
other, with a central shoot apical meristem.
Stem Tubers In some dicotyledon plants, stems grow downwards into the soil and sections of
them grow into stem tubers, also used for food storage. They are identified as their
vascular bundles are arranged in rings reminiscent of stem bundles.
Storage Roots These roots are swollen with stores of food, identified by the central location of vascular tissue. Tendrils These narrow outgrowths from leaves rotate through the air until they touch a solid support to which they attach, allowing the plant to climb upward
