Question

Where can we find a plumule in a plant?

A.

In a flower


B.

In a seed

C.

In a leaf

D.

In the root tips

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) In a seed.

Plumule is found in a seed. It is a part of the seed embryo that develops into the shoot of a plant. 

Explanation

  • The plumule is located above the cotyledons in a seed. 
  • It is the growing tip of the shoot, called the epicotyl. 
  • The plumule is protected by the seed coat until the seed germinates. 
  • As the seed germinates, the plumule emerges from the soil and grows into the first leaves of the plant. 
  • The plumule grows towards sunlight, which is called positive phototropism. 
  • The plumule develops into the stem, leaves, flowers, and seeds of the plant.
