Detailed explanation-1: -Final Answer: Monocot seeds have one cotyledon.
Detailed explanation-2: -Monocots have a single such cotyledon, while other flowering plants usually have two. The exception to this is the water lily Nymphaea, which has what appears to be a single cotyledon with two lobes, but which has usually been interpreted as two fused cotyledons.
Detailed explanation-3: -In monocots, the first cotyledon is called scutellum while the second cotyledon is rudimentary and is called – epiblast. It is a small flap-like outgrowth. It is formed by the remains of second cotyledon which is not truly developed in monocots. Hence, monocots are said to possess one cotyledon.
Detailed explanation-4: -Plants producing seeds with two cotyledons are called dicots.
