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

Answer:

The cotyledon encourages leaf growth in a plant's early stages of life. These leaves are important because they serve as the chief way for plants to get the nutrients they need to continue growing and thriving. When cotyledons become new green leaves, the cotyledons raise over ground level.

Explanation:

The cotyledon in monocots is represented by a structure called the "scutellum" and is an outgrowth of the embryo. The scutellum is connected to the embryo by vascular tissue. The scutellum is right up against the endosperm. When germination is initiated, the embryo starts to secrete gibberellic acid (GA). After 24 hours the scutellum also starts to synthesise GA. The GA triggers synthesis of various enzymes by the aleurone layer (just under the pericarp/testa). These enzymes (including alpha-amylase) enable mobilisation of the endosperm and the products are absorbed by the scutellum and passed to the developing embryo.

In the light of the above, I believe all monocots will have hypogeal germination.

In non-endospermic seeds the cotyledons are the food store. The function of the cotyledon/scutellum in monocots is to a) synthesise GA and b) absorb the digested products of the endosperm and pass them on (via vascular tissue) to the embryo.

Cotyledons are the first part of a plant to emerge from the seed. They are formed within the seed along with the endosperm. Botanists classify plants based on the number of cotyledons they have. Cotyledons function to provide the initial growth for the plant and as an energy source
