Question

In epigeal germination cotyledoms emerge above the ground while in hypogial germination cotyledoms remain below the ground. give reason?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hypogeal germination implies that the cotyledons stay below the ground. The epicotyl (part of the stem above the cotyledon) grows, while the hypocotyl (part of the stem below the cotyledon) remains the same in length. In this way, the epicotyl pushes the plumule above the ground.
