Question

Single cotyledon of a monocot seed is.

• A. Plumule
• B. Epicotyl
• C. Scutellum
• D. Coleorrhiza

Answer 1

The correct option is C Scutellum

• Plumule is the embryonic shoot emerging from the germinating seed. It grows upward and develops into a plant shoot system of plants.
• Epicotyl is the part of the embryonal axis that grows above the cotyledon and gives rise to plumule, which eventually develops into a shoot system.
• Scutellum is the single modified cotyledon of a monocot seed.
• Coleorrhiza is an undifferentiated sheath which surrounds the radicle (root tip) in a monocot seed.

Hence, the answer will be $C$.
