Petunias are dicotyledons - their seed are in two halves.

It's mostly just grasses and cereals like, well, lawn grass, corn, and wheat that are monocotyledonae.

A dicot, short for dicotyledon, is a group of flowering plants distinguished by a set of characteristics, the main one being their two embryonic leaves (called cotyledons, which is where the name dicotyledon comes from - two leaves).

Thus, as sunflowers in their seed stage have two embryonic leaves, they are classified as dicots.

Dicots also have a sub-group called eudicots or tricolpates which sunflowers are part of. The name comes from the fact that these plants have tricolpate pollen, which has 3 or more pores.

Other distinguishing characteristics include their flower parts in multiples of 4 or 5 (rather than 3); the vascular bundles in the stem are arranged in a ring; stems have secondary growth (growing wider in diameter in addition to vertically); and major leaf veins are branched (rather than parallel). Sunflowers exhibit all of these characteristics, as they are part of the eudicot group.
