Is soy bean a monocot or dicot?

Soybean is a dicot, which means it has two cotyledons in its seeds. Dicots typically have net-like leaf venation, and the flowers usually have parts in multiples of four or five. In contrast, monocots, like grasses, have one cotyledon and parallel leaf venation. Soybeans belong to the legume family, which is characteristic of dicot plants.
