Question

the difference between epigeal and hypogeal germination ( role of Epicotyl)​

Answer 1

The cotyledons in Epigeal germination are brought out of the soil by the excessive growth of the hypocotyl. The hypocotyl in hypogeal germination does not elongate much. Instead, the epicotyl grows and takes the plumule above the soil. The plumule comes out of the seed coat by the elongation of the hypocotyl.
