If so, what venation does it have?
Is the water lily a monocot?
Water lily is dicot with reticulate venation . It is in Nympheaceae family of dicots.
Reply:no the water lilly is a dicot- the venation is dedritic or reticulated
Dicotyledons or "dicots" is a name for a group of flowering plants whose seed typically contains two embryonic leaves or cotyledons
Reply:No - it's definitely not a monocot and technically not a eudicot either. The lineage that contains the water lily, the Nymphaeales, precedes the monocot/eudicot split and is generally considered a 'nonmonocot paleoherb'.
The leaves vary from palmate to pinnate venation.
