the leaf like structure of a seed is embryo
the leaf
The cotyledon of a corn seed is usually long and slender, with a pointed tip. It is light yellow in color and is the first leaf-like structure that emerges as the seed begins to germinate.
A fern leaf can be called a frond. (The same word is also used for palm leaves.)
The seed leaf of a plant is the tiny leaf that forms inside the seed itself. It is called a cotyledon. Monocots have one seed leaf. Dicots have two.
Seed leaf, or cotyledon, is the first leaf or pair of leaves produced by the embryo of a seed plant. An example sentence could be: "The seedling emerged from the soil with its one seed leaf already unfurled."
A monochot has a single cotyledon (seed leaf) in its seed, while a dichot has two cotyledons. Monocots belong to the group Monocotyledonae, while dicots belong to the group Dicotyledonae. This fundamental difference in seed structure influences various other characteristics of these plants, such as their leaf venation and floral arrangements.
A cotyledon is the part of a seed that stores nutrients for the developing plant. It is the first leaf-like structure that emerges from a germinating seed and provides the initial food source for the seedling until it can photosynthesize on its own.

You can tell a bean seed has two cotyledons by observing that it splits into two parts when it germinates, each part containing a small leaf-like structure. This distinguishes it from seeds with only one cotyledon, like corn or grass seeds.
Dicots have two seed leaves, while monocots have one seed leaf. Examples of plants with one seed leaf include grasses, lilies, and orchids.
The ovary of a flower develops into the fruit of a plant. After pollination and fertilization, the ovule within the ovary becomes the seed, and the ovary itself matures into the fruit that surrounds and protects the seed.
The seed structure that stores food for the embryo is called the endosperm. It provides essential nutrients for the developing plant embryo to germinate and grow.
