What Are Cotyledons<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Each time a seed germinates we can get a very interesting surprise when the first leaves appear because they will not have the shape they are supposed to have. These leaflets are known by the name of cotyledons or embryonic leaves<\/strong> and have a very important function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact, without them neither the highest tree nor the smallest grass could exist<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the first moment in which the embryo is formed inside the seed, the cotyledons also begin to mature. These first leaves will grow with the reserves of energy stored in the seed, so once that seed stops being fed by the mother plant, it will spend the energy of its cotyledons<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
