Embryo

   This is a labeled picture of a corn seed; although it is not my baby corn seed.

Embryo: part of the seed that holds parts of the leaves, stem, root, and cotyledon. The plant will start its growth from the embryo, and then develop into the differentiating parts.

Cotyledon: either become the primary leaves or food storage, sometimes both.

Endosperm: the food source within the seed
