What do plants with two cotyledons classify as?

Monocots
DICOTS
Annuals
Perennials

The correct answer is: DICOTS

Plants with two cotyledons are classified as dicots. Cotyledons are the first leaves that develop from the seed and play a crucial role in the early nourishment of the plant. In dicots, the presence of two cotyledons is a defining characteristic, distinguishing them from monocots, which have only one cotyledon. Dicots typically exhibit other traits such as net-like leaf venation, floral parts usually occurring in multiples of four or five, and a vascular system arranged in a ring. This classification is significant because it helps in understanding plant characteristics, growth patterns, and agricultural practices relevant to different plant groups. The other choices relate to growth habits or life cycles of plants rather than their classification based on seed structure. Monocots, for example, are recognized by having a single cotyledon, and the terms annuals and perennials refer to the lifespan of plants rather than their seed morphology.
