No. The platypus does not eat plants. Platypuses are carnivores. They are predators; they eat small water animals such as aquatic insect larvae of caddisflies, mayflies and two-winged flies, fresh water shrimp, annelid worms, yabbies and crayfish.
Sometimes, some aquatic plants are accidentally ingested with the invertebrates collected by the platypus. These do not constitute part of the platypus's diet.
