This is a characteristic of dicotyledonous plants such as beans.
The first two leaves on a plant are called cotyledons.
The first two leaves on a bean plant are called cotyledon leaves. These leaves are part of the seed embryo and are different in shape and function compared to the plant's true leaves which will develop later.
The primary leaf, or leaves; sometimes two primary leaves from opposite each other depending on the leaf arrangement on the stem of the plant. This varies from plant to plant. Monocotyledonous plants normally produce a single primary leaf, where are dicotyledonous plants may produce one or two.
With a monocotyledon, the seed sprouts to produce one seed leaf. Typically they also have leaves with parallel veins, a lack of secondary growth, and flower parts in multiples of three. With a dicotyledon, the seed sprouts to produce a pair of leaves. Typically they also have leaves with reticulate venation, flower parts in multiples of four or five, pollen with three pores, and the capacity for secondary growth.
The plant you are referring to is most likely a dicotyledon angiosperm, specifically a perennial plant. This description matches many flowering plants, including those in the Asteraceae (daisy) or Rosaceae (rose) family. These plants have seeds enclosed within ovaries and typically have two seed leaves upon germination, star-shaped flowers, and can live for many years.

They may be picked (or cut) off the stem when they are firm and about one inch in size. The lower sprouts mature first. The lowermost leaves, if they have not been removed already, should be removed when the sprouts are harvested. Harvest sprouts before the leaves yellow.

The plant you are referring to is likely an angiosperm, which is a flowering plant. Angiosperms have seeds enclosed in ovaries, typically start with two embryonic leaves (cotyledons) when they sprout, produce flowers in various shapes including star-shaped, can be aesthetically pleasing, and have a lifespan that can vary from annuals to perennials. Examples of perennial angiosperms that fit this description include roses, lilies, and daisies.
Yes, all true grasses are monocotyledonous
Pitcher plant and Pea plant
The first set of leaves are called cotyledons. A dicot has two and a monocot has only one.
