Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A dicot seed has a tiny embryo inside, but it is tucked in between the two halves of the seed. Each half of the seed is referred to as a cotyledon, hence the name dicotyledon. The cotyledon is filled with food and nutrients for the embryo to develop. An example of a dicot seed is the lima bean.
Detailed explanation-2: -In most dicot seeds, the cotyledons store the food that the seed will use to grow until it gets its first true leaves and begins to make its own food. In many monocot seeds, the food supply for the embryo is stored separately in tissue called the endosperm.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cotyledon / “seed food” The food storage part of the seed.
