Dicot family is a term used to refer to a group of plants that have two embryonic leaves or cotyledons. However, there are several synonyms to this term depending on the context and field of study. In botanical terms, dicot family is often replaced by Magnoliopsida, which is an alternate name for the magnoliids, monocots, and dicots. Another synonym includes Eudicotyledon which is derived from the evolution of the dicotyledons into a broader lineage of angiosperms. The term 'dicotyledon' has also been used in place of 'dicot family'. These synonyms serve to provide clarity and specificity when referring to a group of plants whose unique features make them distinct from other plant families.
