Detailed explanation-1: -cotyledon, seed leaf within the embryo of a seed. Cotyledons help supply the nutrition a plant embryo needs to germinate and become established as a photosynthetic organism and may themselves be a source of nutritional reserves or may aid the embryo in metabolizing nutrition stored elsewhere in the seed.
Detailed explanation-2: -A cotyledon stores food for the seed which it uses during the process of germination. Cotyledons also form the first leaves in a baby plant.
Detailed explanation-3: -The embryo’s food, called endosperm, may be in the seed leaves (also called cotyledons) or it may be outside the seed leaves and be absorbed as the seed germinates. Endosperm food sources can be in the form of carbohydrates, proteins, or fats.
