Detailed explanation-1: -Seed leaves with one food storage area are called monocots. Flowers of monocots have either three petals or multiples of three. The leaves of monocots are long and slender with veins that are parallel to each other. Examples include plants for example grass, corn, rice, lilies and tulips.

Detailed explanation-2: -In many monocot seeds, the food supply for the embryo is stored separately in tissue called the endosperm.

Detailed explanation-3: -Corn, wheat and rice, are examples of monocot seeds or monocotyledons. Embryos of a monocotyledonous seed possess only one large cotyledon called scutellum.

Detailed explanation-4: -Because of the presence of endosperm, monocot seeds are also known as albuminous seeds.

Detailed explanation-5: -Monocotyledonous seeds are covered with a single seed cotyledon. The embryo of monocotyledons has a terminal cotyledon known as scutellum. The scutellum is called seed leaf.
