Are kapok trees dicot or monocot?

Question

Are kapok trees dicot or monocot?

Answer 1

Kapok (Ceiba pentandra) is a tropical tree of the order Malvales and the family Malvaceae (previously separated in the family Bombacaceae), native to Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, northern South America, and (as the variety C. pentandra var. guineensis) to tropical west Africa.

Therefore, because it's in the order Malvales, it's a dicot.
