The cotyledon stores food in the form of starch and protein for use by the embryo.

The seeds for new life are found inside fruit. They contain everything necessary for the growth and development of a new plant.
The three primary parts of a seed are the embryo, endosperm, and seed coat.
The embryo is the young multicellular organism before it emerges from the seed.
The endosperm is a source of stored food, consisting primarily of starches.
The seed coat consists of one or more protective layers that encase the seed.
Seed
OF ALL the facets of nature, the plant seed must be one of the most wondrous.
When a plant creates new life through sexual reproduction,
It encases the new life in a tiny protective package,
Along with a supply of food. This is the seed.
