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: -1 :-Cotyledon is the most important part of the embryo or the growing seed, cotyledon provides nutrition to the embryo for its growth and development. 2 :-These cotyledons are also known as the embryonic leaves and they are the first leaves of the embryo which develops during the germination of the seed.

Detailed explanation-3: -Flowering plants, called angiosperms, have embryos within their seeds that form one or two cotyledons, also often referred to as “seed leaves”. Those with one cotyledon are known as monocotyledons or monocots. Monocots include daylilies, orchids, palms, bananas, pineapples, and corn.
