Presumably you are talking about epigeal development, where the cotyledons grow out from the seed. At first they absorb water, and food from the adjacent parts of the seed, then when they are above ground, many of them photosynthesise.

WHAT IS SEED LEAVES?
first leaves that come out of the seed
What is the name of the very first leaves that grow out of a seed?
The first leaves that grow out of a seed are called the seed leaves(very origanal)
Why the seed leaves shrink in size when the new plant germinates?
The seed leaves have carried out the function they are there for and are of no further use.
Has 2 seed leaves?
dicotyledon
What is the function of the seed leaves?
The seed leaves provide the seedling with food to grow before the appearance of leaves that enable the plant to make its own food.
Why did the mass of seed leaves decrease as the height of seedling increase?
I think that it increases because the plant needs to make food and the leaves are in charge of that. So yup!
Why does the seed leaves mass decrease?
The mass of a seed leaf changes depending on the water and internal processes. When some seed leaves lose water due to transportation, they lose mass. Other will start to sprout and produce their own food, which cause them to gain mass.

Can you give me the characteristics of Dicotyledon seed?
A dicotyledon has leaves with a network of veins, and also, the seed contains an embryo that contains two seed leaves
Are monocots plants with two seed leaves?
No, Monocot seedlings typically have one seed-leaf, in contrast to the Dicotos which typically have two seed-leaves.
Which part of the seed provides food for the seeding?
Seed leaves
How can you tell how many seed leaves a plant has?
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.
