Answer:
A dicot is a flowering plant that has one seed leaves. The monocot plants have a single cotyledon. Maize only has one cotyledon in their seed, so it's a monocot. Seeds having two Cotyles are mainly called a Dicot. A pea is a dicotyledonous plant, the seed (the pea itself) has two halves, cotyledons, hence dicot being 2.
Explanation:
One or more of the cotyledons are the first to appear from a germinating seed. Based on the number of cotyledons, botanists classify flowering plants (angiosperms) into :
a) plants with one embryonic leaf, termed monocotyledonous (monocots).
b) plants with two embryonic leaves, termed dicotyledonous (dicots).
