Answer:
Bitter gourd, also known as Momordica charantia, is a dicotyledonous (dicot) plant. This means that it belongs to the group of angiosperms (flowering plants) characterized by having two cotyledons (seed leaves) in the embryo of the seed. Dicots typically exhibit features such as branching veins in leaves and flower parts in multiples of four or five, unlike monocots, which have one cotyledon and typically have parallel leaf veins and flower parts in multiples of three.
