Yes,makhana is a part of lotus plant ......
Euryale ferox (also known as fox nut or foxnut), or Makhana , is a flowering plant in the water lily family, Nymphaeaceae.
The main edible portion of Makhana is its white perisperm inside the seed which is consumed mainly in its popped form either as snacks or as desserts (payas). It is also cooked as vegetable as a combination like cheese. Makhana is anessential component of the religious culture in this area. No ritualistic ceremony like marriage, sacred thread or shraddh (last rites) could be performed without it. It is considered to be a food item and is widely used as non-cereal starch during ritualistic fasts. It is offered to deities during festivals both as prasad and as garlands . Makhana starch isapplied to cloths to provide a glaze. This starch is used as an ingredient of baby food and is procured by the drug industries in raw form itself. The seeds are also eaten in raw form, albeit on a smaller scale. It is also called Gorgon Nut, or Fox Nut.

Are lotus a non flowering plant or a flowering plant?
Presuming you are talking about Nelumbo species, then all parts are edible either raw or cooked. Although for any real nutrition, eat the roots after boiling them. There is no point in eating the green (or flowering) part of the plant as human beings cannot digest that part of the plant. Interesting side-note: our appendix used to have the function of digesting the green part of plants (chlorophyll) but we have long lost that function. Hope this helps, John
