Hi Nilakshi. Welcome to the SpnaishDict forum.
Rune is correct in her answer.
La papa = the potato (feminine noun)
El Papa = the Pope (masculine noun)
El papá = the dad (masculine noun with an accent mark)

Sí. Pápa means "father". Papa means "potato" or, if you write it with a capital P - Papa, it means "pope".
