Solution

Dear Student,

Food Storage in the Seed. The storage of food reserves in angiosperm seeds differs between monocots and dicots . In monocots, the single cotyledon is called a scutellum; it is connected directly to the embryo via vascular tissue. Food reserves are stored in the large endosperm.
