Of course a cone has an infinite number of planes of symmetry.
Imagine cutting the cone lengthways into two equal halves, mirror images of each other. Ask yourself how many ways can you do this? The answer is infinite, because you can turn the cone around as many times as you like and so you get an infinite number of cuts.
