Solution

The Cotyledon of a Seed:
A seed's embryo bears a cotyledon, which is a seed leaf.
Cotyledons allow a plant embryo to get the protein it needs to germinate and mature into a photosynthetic organism.
They can also be a source of nutritional reserves or aid the embryo in metabolizing nutrition stored elsewhere in the seed.
