Answer 1

The correct option is D Radicle in monocots

The coleorhiza is a sheath protecting the root of the germinating seed of the cereal grains that is in the monocots which is specifically called the radicle of the germinating seed from which the root arises.Its main function is to cover the radicle and root cap. It remains inside the soil and breaks the seed coat but stops the further growth of the root. It is present only in the monocots but not the dicots.

So, the correct option is d. Radicle in the monocot.
