Is a papaya tree a dicotyledon?

Yes, a papaya tree (Carica papaya) is a dicotyledon, which means it belongs to a group of flowering plants characterized by having two cotyledons in their seeds. Dicots typically have broad leaves with a network of veins, and the papaya exhibits these features. Additionally, dicotyledons generally have a more complex vascular structure, which is also present in the papaya tree.
