Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Seeds can have one or two cotyledons, the one with one cotyledon is known as monocotyledon seeds like that of wheat, garlic, grasses, coconut, and paddy. Seeds having two cotyledons are known as dicotyledons and they include peas, tomato, almonds, and cashews.

Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: Monocotyledonous seeds possess a single cotyledon which is represented by scutellum.

Detailed explanation-4: -Monocotyledons. Angiosperms or flowering plants having only one embryonic leaf or cotyledon are known as monocotyledons or monocots. Examples: grasses, wheat, maize, orchids, etc.

Detailed explanation-5: -Number of cotyledons–The number of cotyledons found in the embryo is the actual basis for distinguishing the two classes of angiosperms, and is the source of the names Monocotyledonae ("one cotyledon") and Dicotyledonae ("two cotyledons").
