Explanation / Answer

Corn is monocot and it do not have two cotyledons. It only have single coat and the one side of it involved in the germination of radical and coleoptile.

Radical and coleoptile structures are germinated from the seed of corn. Radicle furtger develops and differentiate into root structures.

Coleoptiles or another structures which shows negative geotropism and develops more for the formation of stem.

The seedling of course is thicker and more protective for prevention from damage. instead of dicots the germinating tissues are covered from one side by a thick cocering of corn.
