In MONOCOT seeds, the cotyledon is specifically called:
AColeoptile (sheath around plumule)
BColeorhiza (sheath around radicle)
CScutellum (the single cotyledon)
DEndosperm (the persistent food)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Scutellum (the single cotyledon)
In monocot seeds, the single cotyledon is the SCUTELLUM (shield-shaped). It absorbs food from the endosperm and transfers it to the embryo. Coleoptile = plumule sheath; coleorhiza = radicle sheath.
