FranCotyledons are important because they store nutrients that support the growth of the embryo in a seed. They provide essential energy and nutrients for the seedling to germinate and establish itself until it can produce its own food through photosynthesis. Additionally, cotyledons can vary in shape and function depending on the plant species, with some serving as the first leaves of the seedling.
