Solution
The correct option is E Cotyledon Dicots are the flowering plants recognized by the presence of two cotyledons. Initially, in the seed, the endosperm provides nourishment. The cotyledons are the initial primary leaves formed after the germination of seed. These are the small green leaves which mark the start of the photosynthesis and the plant can synthesize food on their own.
