Detailed explanation-4: -Cotyledons are the first part of a plant to emerge from the seed. They are formed within the seed along with the endosperm. Botanists classify plants based on the number of cotyledons they have. Cotyledons function to provide the initial growth for the plant and as an energy source.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
