DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HYPOCOTYL AND EPICOTYL

EPICOTYL

1.it is the part of embryonal axis in between plumule and cotyledonary node.

2. In hypogeal germination, epicotyl elongates so that cotyledons remain in the soil.

3. The terminal end of epicotyl is plumule.

Hypocotyl:

1. It is the part of embryonal axis in between cotyledonary node and radicle.

2. In epigeal germination, hypocotyl elongates so that cotyledons come out of soil.

3. The terminal end of hypocotyl is radicle.

Answer 2

The epicotyl is the embryonic shoot above the cotyledons.

An epicotyl is important for the beginning stages of a plant's life. It is the region of a seedling stem above the stalks of the seed leaves of an embryo plant.

The Hypocotyl is the stem of a germinating seedling, found below the cotyledons (seed leaves) and above the radicle (root).
