Question

Assertion : The two cotyledons in the seed are often referred to as embryonic leaves.

Answer 1

Assertion: The two cotyledons in seed are embryonic leaves.

Reason: The embryo contains radicle and plumule.

Both the assertion and the reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion

because, In angiosperms, cotyledons are embryonic leaves. Embryo also has radicle and plumule which gives rise to root and shoot respectively.Hence option B is correct

Answer 2

Because they form within the seeds, cotyledons are known also as seed leaves. Flowering plants, called angiosperms, have embryos within their seeds that form one or two cotyledons, also often referred to as "seed leaves". Those with one cotyledon are known as monocotyledons or monocots.❤️
