it's dicotyledon.--> No! Pine is a gymnosperm ("naked seed"; no ovary), and thus the terms dicotyledon (dicot or eudicot) and monocotyledon (monocot) do not apply to conifers like Pine. The terms "monocotyledon" and "dicotyledon" (or more accurately "eudicot") only apply to the angiosperms (flowering plants containing ovaries/"vessels"). Pine is NOT an angiosperm, thus this these terms DO NOT apply to Pine (or any other conifers).
