It is tricotyledonous, most flowering plants are bicotyledons and grasses

A slight correction, the word is dicot... not bicot...

And it is a taxonomical grouping, not just a description of growth
habit. In otherwords, if a species is a dicotyledon (as the sunflower
is), then it is still a dicotyledon even if the odd aberrant individual
has an extra cotyledon
