Best Answer

is a watermelon a dicot.

You need to look at the embryo inside the seed, if there are two cotyledons, it is dicot. the cotyledons are the small leaves that first emerge, like when a watermelon seedling sprouts, it has two leaves or cotyledons.

A monocot only has one.

Another way to distinguish is that monocots have parallel veins in the leaf and dicots have more branched patters. There are other distinguishing differences but these two should allow you to identify which one it is.

Seeds of the watermelon fruit are dicotyledons . You can prove this by trying to break the seed into half . It will surely break but not in two equal halves .
