Explain why the offspring of a homozygous dominant parent for any trait would all express the dominant trait in their phenotype

Homozygous means the same, so since the parent has homozygous dominant genes, they care two dominant genes. This would ensure that the offspring gets one of the dominant genes and since dominant always beats recessive genes, the dominant trait would have to be expressed.
