The plant uses up the nutrients stored in the cotyledons, they become smaller and eventually drop off once the plant is able to produce food for its self

What are the three main parts to a bean?

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.


Is a bean a seedless plant or a seed plant or both?

A bean is a young seedling. What you see on the outside is the seed coat, but there is another inner layer surrounding the seed called the cotyledon. Inside the cotyledon is the young roots and stems that later become a plant. As the plant starts its journey of growth, the cotyledon becomes food because a plant in its first few days cannot collect its own food.

How do you tell a bean seed has two cotyledons?

You can tell a bean seed has two cotyledons by observing that it splits into two parts when it germinates, each part containing a small leaf-like structure. This distinguishes it from seeds with only one cotyledon, like corn or grass seeds.


Why is the cotyledon not needed once the bean plant matures?

Because the bean plant reserves its own food
