Question

Write a short note on how an embryo grows into a young plant.

Answer 1

• The embryo present inside the seed becomes active and grows into a young plant.
• This process is known as germination.
• The embryo has two parts: the radicle and the plumule.
• The radicle is the lower part and the plumule is the upper part.
• The radicle gives rise to the root system and the plumule gives rise to the shoot system of the plant.
