Question

Radicle emerges out of the seed earlier than plumule. State one advantage served by this?​

Answer 1

• The main advantage of the radicle emerging out of the seed earlier than plumule is that the radicle absorbs water and essential nutrients from the soil.​
• This helps and boosts the growth of plumule.​
• Also, the radicle develops a grip on the soil that provides a little anchorage to the developing plumule.​
