No, the "black" is NOT part of home plate. Home plate is 17 inches wide. Some home-plate models have a black edge that extends beyond that 17 inches. The utility of that black edge is to protect the white edge of the actually plate from chipping.

Yes, any part of the ball that crosses any part of the plate between the knees and chest is a strike.

NO the black bevel is not part of the strike zone. The strike zone is the 17" wide portion that is white. The black bevel is a safety feature to allow the runner to slide over the plate. Besides, not all versions of home plate have a black bevel.
