No, a patola, commonly known as ridge gourd or silk gourd (scientific name: Luffa acutangula), is not a monocot. It belongs to the family Cucurbitaceae and is classified as a dicot. Monocots and dicots are two major groups of flowering plants, with monocots typically having one seed leaf and dicots having two. Patola exhibits characteristics typical of dicots, such as leaf structure and flower formation.
