The scientific classification of the sunflower:

  • Kingdom: Plantae
  • Subkingdom: Tracheobionta (vascular plants)

  • Division: Magnoliophyts (flowering plants)
  • Class: Magnoliopsida (dicotyledon)

Eudicots means "true dicots" and as a modern dicot, the sunflower is certainly considered a eudicot with its net-veined leaves and two cotyledons in the seed.
