A cotyledon is part of the embryo within the seed of a plant. Often when the seed germinates or begins to grow, the cotyledon may become the first leaves of the seedling. contains protein, fats, and starches which provide energy for the developing seedling. The cotyledons provide a similar function. These are the seed leaves and they also contain storage of food for the developing plant. The cotyledons in some cases are major photosynthetic producers during germination. 

So, the correct option is, 'help in seed germination'.
