Arabidopsis is in a plant group called eudicots, however, while maize and many other food crops belong to a group known as monocots.

There are three general root types. a. A taproot is common in eudicots; this first or primary root grows straight down and remains the dominant root of a plant; it is often fleshy and adapted to store food (e.g., carrots, beets). b.
-
The distinction between monocots and eudicots represents an important evolutionary division that relates to many structures.
-
Flowering plants are divided into monocots and eudicots based on these traits.

qroqqa commented on the word eudicots
APG II clade comprising most of the former dicotyledons, excluding those now classified as magnoliids and basal angiosperms such as Nymphaeales and Amborella.
It includes orders Proteales and Ranunculales, a basal family Buxaceae (box), and the major clade core eudicots.
