Hi,

Here is a page with the scientific classification of zucchini. I think you should be able to figure out the rest of your questions from that.

Hi,

I am fairly sure you quickly deduced zucchini, as a squash, is a dicot angiosperm and a C3 photosynthesizer. It is not a gymnosperm, nor a legume.
