Question

Functions of cotyledons in points

Answer 1

In dicot plants, the cotyledons are photosynthetic and function like leaves. The cotyledons are the first part of the plant to emerge from the soil. Some cotyledons last only days after growing from the soil and give way for other plant growth, while some cotyledons can last for years. The cotyledons are important for the new plant as it begins to grow because they contain the stored food reserves from the seed to give the plant its initial burst of energy to grow.

Answer 2

→Cotyledons are the embryonic part of the seeds of flowering plant which upon germination forms the first green leaf and help in the photosynthesis.

→Cotyledon is an important part of the seed and helps in its germination.

→  They are part of embryo within seed and store nutrients in them

→These are the first leaves produced by plants but are not true leaves.

→ They feed plant till true leaves develop and begin photosynthesis
