What happens to the seed leaves when the plant is able to make its own food?
The seed leaves, also known as cotyledons, usually wither and fall off once the plant is able to produce its own food through photosynthesis. The plant's true leaves take over the role of photosynthesis, allowing the plant to sustain itself.
Why did the seed leaves dry up and drop off?
Seed leaves, also known as cotyledons, typically dry up and drop off as the plant transitions to using its true leaves for photosynthesis. This process is natural and allows the plant to redirect its energy towards producing new growth. It's a sign of the plant's healthy development.
Does the seed leaves protect the baby plant?

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.

What is causing your succulents leaves to shrivel?
Extended drought causes a succulent's leaves to shrivel.Specifically, a succulent plant wants to expose the least amount of surface area to evaporation. Decreased surface area reduces the amount of water loss. Shriveling up therefore is a way to have a lesser amount of leaf surface available for water loss to take place.
What will happen to the cotelydons which contain food of thenew palnt as it grows?
