Question

what is the function of epicotyl and hypocotyl?
pls give the answer it's very urgent...pls

Answer 1

Epicotyl- "The epicotyl is a part of of a seedling ,the point along the embryonic shoot
(the stem from which everything grows) just above the cotyledons (the seed leaves)that ends with the plumule (the growth that becomes the first true leaves).Epicotyl are found in angiosperms(or flowering plants)."

Hypocotyl- "The part of a plant embryo or seedling that lies between the radicle and the cotyledons. Upon germination,the hypocotyl pushes the cotyledons above the ground to develop. It actually become part of the plant stem."

Answer 2

Answer:

In plant physiology, the epicotyl is the embryonic shoot above the cotyledons. In most plants the epicotyl will eventually develop into the leaves of the plant. In dicots, the hypocotyl is what appears to be the base stem under the spent withered cotyledons, and the shoot just above that is the epicotyl.
