NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Angiosperms (flowering plants) whose embryos have a single cotyledon are grouped as monocots, or monocotyledonous plants; most embryos with two cotyledons are grouped as eudicots, or eudicotyledonous plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -Monocots have a single cotyledon in their seed, parallel venation in their leaves (Figure 8.1.

Detailed explanation-3: -Angiosperms can have either one or two cotyledons, allowing them to be classified based on this trait. Monocotyledons (monocots) are angiosperms that only have one cotyledon.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cotyledons are a part of the embryo within seeds that form the first leaves when the plant germinates. They contain stored food that helps provide the initial energy that the plant needs to grow. In dicotyledonous plant they also help in photosynthesis.
