xylem
taproot
bryophyte
cotyledon

Answer 1

Answer: Cotyledon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cotyledon is a part of the seed embryo and it is defined as the embryonic leaf or first leaf that first germinate in angiosperms . It is formed within the endosperm of the seed and it serve as energy storage or source of energy to provide initial growth for the plants.

There are two types of cotyledon, monocotyledon and dicotyledon.

Monocotyledon have single cotyledon while dicotyledon have two cotyledon.

Answer 2

The right answer is cotyledon.

Cotyledon is a part of the embryo of a plant in the seed, which is the first leaf. It gives the necessary supply for the transformation of the seed into a plant.

A seed may consist of a single cotyledon (monocotyledon) or two cotyledons (dicotyledon).

Taproot and xylem are not found in the seed. and Bryophytes are a group of plants.
