Question

Which part of seeds forms root on germination?

A.

Plumule


B.

Radicle


C.

Cotyledon


D.

Epicotyl

Correct option is B

Correct Answer: (B) Radicle

Explanation:
The radicle is the part of the seed that forms the root during germination. It is the first part of the seedling to emerge from the seed and begins to grow downward, anchoring the plant and absorbing water and nutrients.

  • Plumule : The plumule is the part of the seed that develops into the shoot (stem and leaves).
  • Cotyledon : The cotyledons are the seed leaves, which provide nutrients to the developing plant but do not form the root.
  • Epicotyl : The epicotyl is the part of the seedling above the cotyledons that develops into the stem.
