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.
