What does DICOT mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A flowering plant whose seed produces two embryonic leaves, or cotyledons, when it germinates; short for dicotyledon.
Botanists once split flowering plants into two broad groups based on cotyledon count, and a dicot forms the larger, more familiar half, including roses, beans, and oak trees. A dicot typically also has net-veined leaves and flower parts in multiples of four or five, features that distinguish it from a monocot. Modern classification has refined these groupings, but dicot remains a useful shorthand in teaching and gardening.
