Is there any relation between Minimal polynomial of a matrix in $M(n,\mathbb C)$ and its diagonalizablity? I want to mean looking at the roots of minimal or characteristic polynomial can we say about its diagonalizablity?

A matrix $A \in \mathrm{Mat}_n(\mathbb C)$ is diagonizable iff all roots of is minimal polynomial are simple.
