Eh, depends on how you look at it. DirectX basically doesn't see "2D", at least not in a direct sense. It's a single API. If you want to do a 2D game, you do it as a big texture sheet.

Try again, DirectX comes packaged with the directdraw API as an integral component which does nothing but 2d, I know cause I have programed in direct draw 7 which overlays all 2d images as HDC layers.

It's a single API.

It's not a single API, alone DirectX does nothing, it's simply the name of a collection of smaller API's, it's child API's do all the work, direct3D, directsound, and directdraw, ext.
