Question

"Seed have shield shaped structured called cotyledon". Is it of any importance? specify.

Answer 1

A cotyledon is a significant part of the embryo within the seed of a plant.

Upon germination, the cotyledon usually becomes the embryonic first leaves of a seedling.

The number of cotyledons present is one characteristic used by botanists to classify the flowering plants (angiosperms).

Species with one cotyledon are called monocotyledonous (or, "monocots").

Plants with two embryonic leaves are termed dicotyledonous ("dicots").
