The terms monocot and dicot (both are abbreviations, standing respectively for monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous) refer to the structure of embryonic plants inside their seeds, specifically, whether they have one leaf or two leaves. That is what it means. It has no relevance to animals. Animals have no leaves and cannot be monocots or dicots.
