Solution

The correct option is A Radicle
Coleorhiza is a sheath-like structure found in a plant seed that connects the coleoptile to the primary root and acts as a protective covering enclosing the plumule and radicle. The structure coleorhiza in a maize grain is the covering of the radicle. It is penetrated by the root in germination.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
