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.
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.
