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 the seed leaves shrink in size when the new plant germinates?

The seed leaves, also known as cotyledons, shrink in size as the new plant germinates because their main function is to provide initial nutrients to support early growth. As the plant grows, it develops true leaves which take over the role of photosynthesis and nutrient production, causing the cotyledons to eventually wither and fall off.


How man seed leaves does a dicot have?

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.

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.

What means two seed leaves?

"Two seed leaves" refers to the initial pair of leaves that emerge from a seed as it germinates. These seed leaves, or cotyledons, provide nutrients to the young plant until it is capable of photosynthesis. Most flowering plants can be classified as either monocots (with one seed leaf) or dicots (with two seed leaves) based on this characteristic.
