Monocot

Real World Example

Imagine trying to balance a tray with just one hand while serving guests at a party. This situation is similar to how a monocot, a type of flowering plant, begins its life with only one seed leaf, or cotyledon, to support its initial growth. Just as using one hand requires a unique strategy to keep the tray steady and distribute its weight efficiently, a monocot relies on its single seed leaf to absorb nutrients and sustain early development, showing how both scenarios require adaptation to thrive with limited initial resources.
