Hi...
The cotyledon is the embryo within a plant’s seed. Once the seed germinates, the cotyledon becomes the seedling’s first leaves.
Botanists use the cotyledon within a seed to classify plants. Plants with one cotyledon are referred to as monocotyledonous or monocots. Botanists place one cotyledon plants into the Class Liliopsida.
Plants that feature two cotyledons are classified as dicotyledonous or dicots and botanists place them in the Class Magnoliopsida.

A cotyledon is part of the embryo within the seed of a plant. Often when the seed germinates, or begins to grow, the cotyledon may become the first leaves of the seedling. Botanists use the number of cotyledons present in the seed of a plant as a means of classification.
