Is a black eyed susan a monocot?

No, a black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) is not a monocot; it is a dicot. Monocots typically have one seed leaf, parallel leaf venation, and flower parts in multiples of three, while dicots have two seed leaves, net-like leaf venation, and flower parts in multiples of four or five. Black-eyed Susans feature characteristics typical of dicots, such as their leaf structure and flower arrangement.
