Question

what is scutellum.....​

Answer 1

Answer:

The scutellum is thought to be a modified cotyledon, or seed leaf. In grasses this seed leaf never develops into a green structure but serves only to digest endosperm and transfer nutrients to the rest of the embryo. ... The scutellum arises from octant cells, which also contribute to the cotyledon.
