Solution

The correct option is A
Epigeal

A mature seed consists of two essential parts: the seed coat and the embryo. A seed is covered by a protective covering called the seed coat. It develops from the integuments of the ovule. It has two layers: outer testa and inner tegmen. The embryo is defined as miniature plant enclosed within the seed coat. the embryo of a mature seed consists of cotyledons, plumule, epicotyl, hypocotyl and radicle.

Q. Assertion: In a dicotyledonous embryo, the portion of embryonal axis above the level of cotyledons is the epicotyl and the portion below the level of cotyledons is hypocotyl.

Reason: The epicotyl terminates with radicle or root tip and hypocotyl terminates with plumule or shoot tip.
