The veins are branching up and down the leaf instead of branching up from a thick, center midrib.
Parallel veins are a common characteristic of many monocots.
Monocot leaves, like those in corn, have parallel veins that don't branch out. Dicot leaves, on the other hand, are netted, branching out in a webby pattern.
I am pretty positive that they are dicots because their leaf veins are reticulated, not parallel.
I do not have the leaf before me and can not remember what it looks like, but..... A monocot leaf has parallel veins, lines of veins that do not meet or cross. A dicot has reticulated veins, veins that look somewhat like a messy spider web, crossing and perpendicular to each other. Look at the leaf and decide on this general information given you.
Banana is a dicot leaf or monocot leaf
The veins in a grass leaf run parallel, marking it as a monocot
Monocot leaves have their leaf veins arranged parallel to each other and the long axis of the leaf (parallel vennation).

1.The monocot leaves are identical on both sides (isobilateral) where as dicot leaves are dorsiventral (i. e. having palisade cells on the upper side and spongy parenchyma on the lower side). 2. Monocot leaves generally have parallel venation and dicot leaves have reticulate venation.
They have one cotyledon in the seed, petals usually in multiples of 3, and veins branching up and down the leaf.
In parallel venation, the veins are all smaller in size and parallel or nearly parallel to one another, although a series of smaller veins connects the large veins. Parallel venation occurs in the leaves of nearly all monocotyledonous Angiosperms, whose embryos have one cotyledon, as in flowering plants such as lillies and grasses
perallel veins
It will have a seed which has only one cotyledon, petals usually in multiples of 3, and veins branching up and down the leaf.
