Question

The part of the embryo between the cotyledons and the embryonic root (radicle) is caved

• A. hypocotyl
• B. epicotyl
• C. plumule
• D. choleorhiza

Answer 1

The correct option is A hypocotyl

The part of the stem of an embryo plant beneath the stalks of the seed leaves or cotyledons and directly above the root is called hypocotyl. In the developing embryo, the hypocotyl is the embryonic axis that bears the seedling leaves (cotyledons). Upon germination, the hypocotyl pushes the cotyledons above the ground to develop. It eventually becomes part of the plant stem.

So, the correct option is, 'hypocotyl'.
