D
Seedling
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A seedling is a young plant or sporophyte developing out of a plant embryo from a seed. Seedling development starts with germination of the seed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer. The plumule is the part of a seed that grows into a young plant. The plumule is the part of a seed embryo that develops into the shoot bearing the first true leaves of a plant. In most seeds, for example the sunflower, the plumule is a small conical structure without any leaf structure.

Detailed explanation-3: -Inside of the seed would be a tiny plant called the embryo. The two large parts of the seed are called the cotyledons. The cotyledons are stored food that the young plant will use while it is growing.

Detailed explanation-4: -After fertilisation, a tiny plant called an embryo is formed inside a seed. The seed protects the embryo and stores food for it. The parent plant disperses or releases the seed. If the seed lands where the conditions are right, the embryo germinates and grows into a new plant.
