Parts of a Seed
In plant
physiology, the
epicotyl is the
embryonic
shoot above
the cotyledons.
Parts of a Seed
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.
Parts of a Seed
In monocot plants,
the first shoot that
emerges from the
ground or from the
seed is the epicotyl,
from which the first
shoots and leaves
emerge.
