Dandelions are in the Aster family. All asters are in the Division Magnoliopsida (Dicots).
Differences between Monocot and Dicot:
Seeds: The embryo of the monocot has one cotyledon while the embryo of the dicot has two.
Flowers: The flower parts in monocots are multiples of three while in dicots are multiples of four or five.
Stems: In monocots, the stem vascular bundles are scattered, while in dicots they are in a ring.
Secondary growth: In monocots, stems rarely show secondary growth; in dicots, stems frequently have secondary growth.
Pollen: In monocots, pollen has one furrow or pore while in dicots they have three.
Roots: The roots are adventitious in monocots, while in dicots they develop from the radicle.
Leaves: In monocots, the major leaf veins are parallel, while in dicots they are reticulated.

Dandelion is a dicot. Monocots are all grasses and grains.

You can tell that dandelion is a dicot, because monocot leaves have parallel veins (like corn and grass), and dandelions don't!
