Answer:

Monocot

Step-by-step explanation:

All flowering plants (Angiosperms) are classified into monocots and dicots. Monocotyledons are plants that have one seed leaf (cotyledon) when the seeds germinate. These plants also have other features such as, for example, parallel-veined leaves, adventitious root system, flower parts in multiples of threes (i.e., 3, 6 or 9 petals), etc. Poaceae (Gramineae), also known as grasses, is a large family of monocotyledonous plants. Therefore, all the grasses are monocot.
