monocot

The endosperm surrounds the embryo and provides starch, which is used for food and is made up of oil and protein as well
The cotyledon is usually the first leaf that comes out during germination however are the first to develop. Functionality is photosynthetic like leaves except they are developed with the roots
it only has one leaf hence monocot roots are adventious no secondary growth
epicotyl-shoots and leaves form afterword
examples of other monocots grass bananas and grains pictured corn
pollen single furrowed leaves are parellel
