Question

difference between epiogeal and hypogeal

Answer 1

In hypogeal germination, the cotyledons emerge from the seed containing enough nutrients to fuel seed development and are not photosynthetic. These seeds are usually larger than epigealseeds. As the seedling grows, its shoot rises above ground level, while the cotyledons remain below or at ground level.

Answer 2

In hypogeal germination the epicotyl extends and the cotyledons stay in the ground, whereas in epigeal germination the hypocotyl extends and the cotyledons come out of the ground. ... Phaseolus vulgaris is an example of a plant that has epigeal germination
