The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Scutellum**: The scutellum is a type of cotyledon found in certain plants. It is specifically associated with monocots, which are plants that typically have one cotyledon in their seeds. 2. **Identifying Monocots**: Monocots are a group of flowering plants that include families such as Poaceae (the grass family), Liliaceae, and others. They are characterized by having a single cotyledon, parallel leaf venation, and flower parts in multiples of three. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: Any monocot**: This is too broad and does not specify the family. - **Option 2: Poaceae**: This is the grass family, which is known to have scutellum as a cotyledon in its seeds. - **Option 3: Liliaceae**: While this is a monocot family, it does not specifically refer to the scutellum. - **Option 4: Legume**: This refers to plants in the family Fabaceae, which are dicots and do not have a scutellum. 4. **Conclusion**: Since the scutellum is specifically the cotyledon found in the seeds of the Poaceae family, the correct answer to the question is **Option 2: Poaceae**. **Final Answer**: Scutellum is the cotyledon of **Poaceae**. ---
