Kotiledoni
Kotiledoni, also known as cotyledons, are the first leaves that emerge from the seed of a plant. They are typically found in the embryo of a seed and serve as a source of food for the developing plant until it can produce its own leaves through photosynthesis. Cotyledons are a characteristic feature of many plant species, including monocots and dicots, and their number and structure can vary widely.
In monocots, such as grasses and lilies, the cotyledons are usually linear or strap-shaped and are often
Cotyledons play a crucial role in the early stages of plant development. They store nutrients and provide
The study of cotyledons is important in botany and plant biology, as they provide insights into the
