The single cotyledon has been modified by evolution to form an absorptive organ, the scutellum, which forms the interface between the embryo and the starchy endosperm tissue.

The basal sheath of the scutellum has elongated to form a coleoptile that covers and protects the first leaves while buried beneath the soil.

The base of the hypocotyl has elongated to form a protective sheath around the radicle called the coleorhiza.
