The embryo is the most essential part of a seed--the new plant develops from inside. It consists of three main parts: the main root of the plant to be, the cotyledon and the embryonic leaves. The main root is the how water is absorbed into the embryo to initiate germination and growth.

cotyledon - part of seed surrounding the embryo, the cotyledon serves as a source of nutrients for the germinating plant. The number of cotyledons in the seed serves as a basis for classifying angiosperms into monocotyledons, with one cotyledon, and dicotyledons, with two.
