I have no idea what a colyledon might be. A cotyledon is a modified leaf containing the food for a seed. It provides the food for the new plant. Some cotyledons finish their task of providing the new plant with food and turn into leaves. Other cotyledons do not turn into leaves. Some cotyledons go underground and store food for the plant.

A cotyledon is the embryonic leaf within a seed that serves as a food reserve for the developing plant until it can photosynthesize on its own. They are a crucial part of seed development and early plant growth.
