Dichotomous branching is where the stem repeatedly forks. It forks into to branches, and then each of those two branches fork, etc. This is quite common in the lower tracheophyte plants such as Psilotum, Selaginella, and Lycopodium.
Dicots are plants that are characterized by a two cotyledons (seed leaves) in the seed, netted veins leaves, vascular bundles in a ring, flower parts in fours or fives or multiples of fours or fives, and a vascular cambium with secondary growth and concentric growth rings.

Dormant refers to plants that are living but are not growing. This is typical of seeds, plants that live in temperate regions of the earth, lose their leaves during the winter, and stop growing. In the spring, these plants break dormancy and begin to grow. Seeds break dormancy by soaking up moisture and beginning to send out shoots and roots.
