Best Answer

Beans are dicots. Plant a bean seed in a sunny window and in a few days you will see for yourself. Two fairly large "leaves" will spring from the soil. These are the initial cotyledons that will help nourish the plant until its first real leaves form a few days later. The cotyledons will then cease to function and will usually turn yellowish and will fall off.

A dicot embryo has two cotyledons and a monocot embryo has one cotyledon. Beans are dicots because they have two cotyledons under their seed coat.

Not all beans are dicotyledons as they do not all fall into two separate hemispheres beneath their skin. Such examples as haricot and kidney are monocotyledons.
