Yes, daisies are classified as dicots. The term ‘dicot’ refers to a group of flowering plants that typically have two seed leaves, or cotyledons, when they germinate. Daisies, which belong to the Asteraceae family, display the typical characteristics of dicots, such as broad leaves with a net-like vein pattern and flower parts that usually occur in multiples of four or five.
Daisies also tend to have a complex floral structure, featuring both ray florets and disk florets. This unique structure and leaf arrangement further support their classification as dicots. In botany, the classification of plants can help us understand their relationships and characteristics, and knowing that daisies are dicots places them firmly within a larger biological context.
