Answer 2

Answer:

A single cotyledon of monocotyledon plants is known as scutellum.

The scutellum is present in monocotyledonous seeds.

Explanation:

• The cotyledons are formed during the embryogenesis process in angiosperms. When the seeds (ripened fertilized ovules) germinate, these become the first leaves of the seedlings.
• Two cotyledons are present in dicot plants. A few examples are beans, pea, almonds, and cashews.
• A single lateral cotyledon called scutellum is present in monocotyledon plants. A few examples are corn, wheat, and rice.
• The scutellum acts as a passage for movements of nutrients from the endosperm to the developing embryo.
