Cotyledon
The term for a plant that no longer depends on cotyledons for nourishment is "autotrophic." This means that the plant is able to produce its own food through photosynthesis and no longer relies on the stored nutrients in its cotyledons.
The part of a seed that provides nourishment is called the endosperm. It serves as a food reserve, supplying essential nutrients to the developing embryo as it germinates and grows into a new plant. Additionally, in some seeds, the cotyledons (the seed leaves) also contribute to the nourishment during the early stages of growth.
A plant... specifically a flowering plant Any chlorophyll-bearing plant is able to produce nourishment for itself through photosynthesis. Broccoli is one good example of a chlorophyll-bearing plant (as is any green plant.)

Flowers are important to a plant because they use them to reproduce. When bees visit the plant, they take pollen from the flowers, which moves on to others plants.
The lack of nourishment for the surviving plant in "A Raisin in the Sun" symbolizes the struggles and aspirations of the Younger family. Just as the plant fights to survive in a challenging environment, the family's dreams are stifled by poverty and systemic barriers. The plant's resilience mirrors their hope for a better future, despite the obstacles they face. Ultimately, it reflects the broader theme of perseverance in the pursuit of one's dreams.
