Some seeds have two seed leaves like gram, pea, bean, etc. Such seeds are called dicot or dicotyledonous. Some seeds have only one seed leaf. They are called monocot or monocotyledonous.

Embryo or baby plant: It is present inside the seeds which develop into a new plant. The embryo gives rise to a baby shoot (plumule) and root (radical).
