Answer:
Dicotyledon
Explanation:
Cotyledon
- The plant whose seeds have two cotyledons are called the dicot plant. Eg Pea
- Cotyledons are embryonic leaves present inside the seed.
Based on the number of cotyledons there are two types of plants:
- Monocot plants - have only one cotyledon. eg Rice, maize
- Dicot plants- have two cotyledons. eg Gram, pea
- Dicot plants have a distinct seed coat composed of an outer layer testa and an inner layer tegmen while in monocot plants pericarp is usually fused with a seed coat.
- The embryonal axis of a dicot plant is distinctly divided into plumule, epicotyl, cotyledonary node, hypocotyl, and Radical.
