DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The storage of food reserves in angiosperm seeds differs between monocots and dicots. In monocots, such as corn and wheat, the single cotyledon is called a scutellum; the scutellum is connected directly to the embryo via vascular tissue (xylem and phloem). Food reserves are stored in the large endosperm.

Detailed explanation-2: -Seed leaves with one food storage area are called monocots. Flowers of monocots have either three petals or multiples of three.

Detailed explanation-3: -Corn, wheat and rice, are examples of monocot seeds or monocotyledons.

Detailed explanation-4: -Monocots are plants that have single seed-bearing leave. There are over 60, 000 plant species that are monocotyledons. Monocotyledons are distinguished by the presence of only one seed leaf. Monocotyledons have one seed, flower petals in multiples of 3 or 3, fibrous roots, and adventitious.
