the name for the seed leaves are cotyledons. A grass plant has one so it's a monocot. A tomato for example has two so its a dicot

The first leaves that grow out of a seed are called the seed leaves(very origanal)

A dicot typically has two seed leaves, also known as cotyledons, that emerge from the seed upon germination. These seed leaves provide nutrients for the plant until it can photosynthesize on its own.

The shell covering a seed is sometimes called a hull.

Cotyledon is also known as seed leaf. It is the first leaf or pair of leaves produced by the embryo of a seed plant.
Depends. - Do you know what kind of plant the seed is from? Look it up. - Can you wait until the seed germinates? Count the initial number of leaves it has as soon as it germinates and before it begins to grow new leaves. - Can you simply dissect the seed? Count how many leaves are on the embryonic plant inside. - Is this a plant that has already germinated and you want to identify (and count) which of its leaves are seed leaves? That's more difficult. Some plants discard their seed leaves within weeks after germination. Some keep them below the soil and only raise their true leaves above the soil. In some plants, the seed leaves are of a markedly different form that the true leaves, but in some (especially pine and related softwood trees) the seed leaves look almost identical to the true leaves.
