Dear student

Coleoptile

coleorhiza

It is the protective sheath which covers the plumule in a monocot seed

It is the undifferentiated sheath which covers the radicle and root cap in a monocot seed

It is green in colour and comes out from the soil, and performs photosynthesis.

It remains inside the soil and is non-green in colour.
