Detailed explanation-1: -Monocots have one cotyledon and dicots have two. 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-2: -Corn, wheat and rice, are examples of monocot seeds or monocotyledons. Embryos of a monocotyledonous seed possess only one large cotyledon called scutellum.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: Monocot seeds, sometimes known as monocotyledons, include corn, wheat, and rice. Monocotyledonous seed embryos have just one big cotyledon termed scutellum. The scutellum is shield-shaped and positioned laterally on one side of the embryo axis.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -plural monocots. : a chiefly herbaceous angiospermous plant (such as a grass, lily, or palm) having an embryo with a single cotyledon, usually parallel-veined leaves, and floral organs arranged in multiples of three : monocotyledon.
