Solution

The correct option is A Cotyledons + embryo

A seed is made up of the seed coat and an embryo. This embryo is made up of a radicle. An embryonal axis is of one (as in wheat, maize) or two cotyledons (as in gram and pea). Inside both the pea and the bean there are cotyledons as large food-storing structures.

The food within the cotyledons provides energy to the embryo during germination. The embryo exists between the two cotyledons. And, it is made up of two parts radicle and micropyle.

So, the correct answer is an cotyledon + embryo.

The correct option is A.
