Short Answer
Giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) is neither a monocot nor a dicot. The terms "monocot" and "dicot" apply only to flowering plants. Sequoia are not flowering plants. They are conifers.
Longer Answer
Taxonomists recognize six major divisions of seed-bearing plants.
Division Angiospermae (the angiosperms or "flowering plants") can be further divided into the monocots and the dicots based on certain morphological characteristics including embryonic leaf number. Palms and grasses are familiar monocots. Oaks and peanuts are familiar dicots.
Sequoia are in Division Pinophyta (the conifers) along with pines, cedars and other cone-producing trees and shrubs. Like angiosperms, conifers produce pollen and seeds that contain embryonic plants. But the conifers' reproductive structures are contained within cones rather than flowers. Conifer seeds also lack endosperm and conifers do not produce fruit.
