The number of cotyledons is a defining characteristic used to classify flowering plants into two major groups: monocotyledons (monocots) and dicotyledons (dicots). Monocots have a single cotyledon, while dicots have two cotyledons.
The primary function of cotyledons varies depending on the plant species. In some plants, such as beans,
After germination and the emergence of true leaves, the cotyledons typically wither and fall off, as they
