Detailed explanation-1: -Plants producing seeds with two cotyledons are called dicots. The cotyledons contain stored fat that nourishes the embryo. While, plants having a single cotyledon in their seeds are called monocots .

Detailed explanation-2: -Angiosperms (flowering plants) whose embryos have a single cotyledon are grouped as monocots, or monocotyledonous plants; most embryos with two cotyledons are grouped as eudicots, or eudicotyledonous plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Angiosperm diversity is divided into two main groups, monocot and dicots, based primarily on the number of cotyledons they possess.

Detailed explanation-4: -In endospermic dicots, the food reserves are stored in the endosperm. During germination, the two cotyledons therefore act as absorptive organs to take up the enzymatically released food reserves, much like in monocots (monocots, by definition, also have endospermic seeds).

Detailed explanation-5: -In monocot, the first cotyledon is called scutellum while the second cotyledon is rudimentary and is called. No worries!
