the radical embryo the cotyledon and the seed coat
The main parts of a bean are inside the seed coat, these are the endosperm, cotyledon, and the hypocotyl. The endosperm surrounds the embryo and provides nutrition in the form of starch. The cotyledon is the significant part of the embryo within the seed of the been. It becomes the first leaves of a seedling upon germination. The hypocotyl is the stem of the germinating seedling found below the cotyledon.
The fleshy part of the seed is called the cotyledon. This is the part of the plant where food is stored. Some seeds have one cotyledon, for example corn, and other have two cotyledons, for example a lima bean.
