A cone with included interior is 3-dimensional. However, if you are not including the interior it is a 2-dimensional surface residing in a 3-d ambient space.

If you're utilizing the common topological definition of dimension, you can derive that a cone (surface only) is 2 dimensional by looking at its open sets.

What is the geometric name for the shape of a carrot?

The geometric name for the shape of a carrot is a "cylindrical cone." This shape is formed by a combination of a cylinder (the body of the carrot) and a cone (the tapered end). In geometric terms, a cone is a three-dimensional shape with a circular base that tapers to a point, while a cylinder is a three-dimensional shape with two parallel circular bases.
