Answer:
Micropyle:---
- Micropyle (botany), a minute opening in the integument of an ovule of a seed plant.
- Micropyle (zoology), a differentiated area of surface in an egg, through which a sperm enters
Hilum:---(Relation to biology it's hilum not hilium)
- In botany, a hilum (pronounced /ˈhaɪləm/) is a scar or mark left on a seed coat by the former attachment to the ovary wall or to the funiculus (which in turn attaches to the ovary wall). On a bean seed, the hilum is called the "eye".
- For some species of fungus, the hilum is the microscopic indentation left on a spore when it separates from the sterigma of the basidium.[1]
- A hilum can also be a nucleus of a starch grain; the point around which layers of starch are deposited.
- The adjectival form hilar denotes the presence of such a mark, and can be used as a distinguishing characteristic of a seed or spore.
