Solution

The correct option is D Formed from plumule
Adventitious roots do not arise from the radical of the seed. Instead, they can originate from the plumule parts such as stem, branches, leaves, or old woody roots of the plants. Hence, they are termed as adventitious. They commonly occur in monocots and pteridophytes.
