If a water-soaked seed is pressed, a small drop of water comes out through

• A. Hilum
• B. Plumule
• C. Micropyle
• D. Radicle

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Micropyle

• Micropyle is the minute pore that is present in the seeds. The seeds can absorb water through this pore.
• The water is absorbed through this pore during seed germination. When the seeds which are soaked in the water are pressed, there is a release of water from this pore.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
