Cotyledons are also called ____________.

The correct option is C Seed leaves

• Cotyledons are actually part of the seeds.
• They are the first part of the plant to emerge and look like little green leaves, hence, are called "seed leaves".
• The cotyledons store food reserves for the growing seedling. The plant relies on this stored food for early growth.
• The cotyledons can perform photosynthesis and thus, supply extra energy until the first true leaves emerge.
• So, the correct answer is option C.
