Endosperm and cotyledons are the part of seed that provides food .
the cotyledons
The main parts of a seed are the seed coat, cotyledons, the embryo, and the Endosperm,stored food.
The cotyledons provides a source of food to the seed and seedling that is germinating, while the seed coat protects it.
The seed embryo is nourished by stored starch in the plant.
Cotyledons are the first young leaves inside the embryo
Seed coat, micropyle, endosperm and embryo are major parts of a seed. The seed coat protects, micropyle allows water to move in, endosperm nourishes the embryo and on germination a new plant emerges from the embryo.
An acotyledon is a plant which has no cotyledons, a leaf of an embryo of a seed-bearing plant.
A part of a seed which is inside the seed coat is called cotyledon and it contains EMBRYO and the stored food
The modified leaves that are found in embryonic plants are called cotyledons. Cotyledons are the first leaves produced by the plant. They are not true leaves and are considered to be seed-leaves because they are a part of the seed or embryo of the plant.
The purpose of the seed is to protect the tender and vulnerable embryo inside it. The tough seed covering, also known as the Testa encases the baby plant. Food to spur its growth is either packed around it or stored in special leaves known as cotyledons.
Angiosperms that produce seeds with two cotyledons are called dicots. The cotyledons are the seed leaves produced by the embryo.
