Detailed explanation-1: -The radicle (primary embryonic root) emerges from the seed first to enhance water uptake; it is protected by a root cap produced by the root apical meristem. Water is essential for metabolic activity, but so is oxygen. A seed sitting in a glass of water will not survive.

Detailed explanation-2: -Radicle is defined as the embryonic root of the plant, which develops into the future root of the plant. It is the first part of the embryo to develop into the root system of plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the case of the germination of a monocotyledonous plant seed, the coleorhiza is the first part to grow out of the seed coat, whereas during the germination of a dicotyledonous plant seed, the radicle grows out of the seed coat first [5].

Detailed explanation-4: -The root that develops directly from the radicle is termed as true root. Example: Taproot.

Detailed explanation-5: -Radicle is the first part of the seedling. Plumule grows after the radicle. The radicle makes the root of the plant. Plumule makes the plant shoot.
