The genotype of the purple plant would be PP,

The genotype of an organism generally refers to the genetic composition of the organism. Each gene is represented by 2 alleles, otherwise known as alternative forms of genes.

When the same alleles represent a gene, such gene is said to be homzygous, but when the alleles are different, such genes are said to be heterozygous.

In this case, the purple seed allele is represented by P and the purple parent is said to be homzygous. Hence, the genotype would definitely be PP.
