Is it true that parallel venation is typically found in monocot plants such as grasses?

Parallel venation is a type of venation in which the veins run parallel to one another. The main vein or midrib runs through the center of the leaf, with smaller veins branching off of it on either side. This type of venation is typically found in monocot plants such as grasses.

Parallel venation is an adaptation for the efficient transport of water and minerals from the stem to the rest of the leaf. In leaves with parallel venation, the veins do not necessarily originate from the same point and may run the entire length of the leaf. This type of venation is often found in leaves that are flat and broad, allowing for maximum exposure to sunlight. It also supports the leaf structure and provides efficient gas exchange between the leaf and the atmosphere.
