Detailed explanation-1: -The process of development of new plant that originates from the embryo present in the seed is called germination. The plant shoot and root develops from the embryo as the dormant embryo from the seed develops into a new plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -The embryo inside the seed is made up of a small shoot and a small root. The root is the first to emerge from the seed. As it grows, it anchors the plant to the ground, and begins absorbing water through the root. After the root absorbs water, the shoot begins to emerge from the seed.

Detailed explanation-3: -The embryo is a miniature plant in a state of arrested development. The embryo’s food, called endosperm, may be in the seed leaves (also called cotyledons) or it may be outside the seed leaves and be absorbed as the seed germinates. Endosperm food sources can be in the form of carbohydrates, proteins, or fats.

Detailed explanation-4: -Functions of Plumules Plumule is the part of the embryo which emerges from the seed and develops into the shoot of the plant.
