Is papaya is monocot

Papaya tree is a dicot belonging to the Caricaceae family.

The basic difference between a monocot and a dicot is based on the number of cotyledons present in the embryo.

A dicot has two cotyledons whereas a monocot has one cotyledon.

The cotyledons are seed leaves produced by the embryo. They absorb the nutrients present in the seed until the seedling is able to grow new leaves and begin photosynthesis.
