Solution

An example of a dioecious plant is date palm.

Explanation:

A dioecious plant has male and female flowers on separate individual plants. Date palm is dioecious, meaning staminate (male) flowers grow on one tree and pistillate (female) flowers grow on another. Cucumber and maize are monoecious with both flower types on the same plant, while castor bean is also monoecious.
