Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The dicotyledons, also known as dicots (or, more rarely, dicotyls), are one of the two groups into which all the flowering plants (angiosperms) were formerly divided. The name refers to one of the typical characteristics of the group: namely, that the seed has two embryonic leaves or cotyledons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Angiosperms (flowering plants) whose embryos have a single cotyledon are grouped as monocots, or monocotyledonous plants; most embryos with two cotyledons are grouped as eudicots, or eudicotyledonous plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Angiosperms can have either one or two cotyledons, allowing them to be classified based on this trait. Monocotyledons (monocots) are angiosperms that only have one cotyledon.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants with seeds having two cotyledons are called monocots.

Detailed explanation-5: -In monocots, the first cotyledon is called scutellum while the second cotyledon is rudimentary and is called – epiblast.
