A pansy is a dicot as the plant has flower parts in multiples of 4 or 5 and the major leaf veins are reticulated.
Pansies are classified as dicots, specifically eudicots, characterized by having two cotyledons, networked leaf venation, and flower parts typically in multiples of four or five. Their vascular tissue is arranged in a ring, which is another distinguishing feature from monocots. These traits affirm their classification in the dicot group.
