maybe he was lucky and he did so without knowing the reason but today we know the pea plant is 2n=14. so it has 7 pairs of chromosomes. if mendel had studied 8 traits for example, then at least 2 of them would've been on the same chromosome and he couldn't have used its mathematical laws of independence because then at least 2 chromosomes were linked.
Mendel became famous for his study of the pea plant. Gregor Mendel's study of this plant led to significant contributions in the field of genetics and heredity. He is called the" father of modern genetics." Mendel was born in 1822 and died in 1884.
Gregor Mendel cross-pollinated pea plants by manually transferring pollen from the stamen of one pea plant to the pistil of another pea plant. He carefully removed the anthers from the first plant to prevent self-pollination and then applied the pollen to the stigma of the second plant. This process allowed Mendel to control the genetic makeup of the offspring and study the inheritance patterns of specific traits in pea plants.
He studied plants and was a gardener.
Gregor Mendel used pea plants in his experiments to study heredity
A pea plant is a dicotyledon (dicot).

Gregor Mendel used pea plants (Pisum sativum) to study heredity.
Gregor Mendel conducted experiments on pea plants, specifically the garden pea plant (Pisum sativum). Mendel used pea plants to study the inheritance of traits and establish the principles of modern genetics.
Mendel study various organisms but his most discussed experiments dealt with his pea-plant crosses.
If you are talking about gregor mendel, then he chose the pea plant because it showed differences in traits well
