Detailed explanation-1: -The seed coat protects the baby plant residing inside the seed. The swollen part of the seed called cotyledon stores food and all the other essential nutrients required for the baby plant.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is Cotyledon? Cotyledon refers to the significant part of the embryo found within the seed. It is the first and the tender leaf that emerges when the seed germinates. It is also called the storage unit of a seed, as it provides nutrients to the different parts of an embryo.
