NEET BIOLOGY

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. A typical young seedling consists of three main parts: the radicle (embryonic root), the hypocotyl (embryonic shoot), and the cotyledons (seed leaves).

Detailed explanation-2: -After fertilisation, the combined cell grows into an embryo inside a seed. The embryo is a tiny plant that has root, stem and leaf parts ready to grow into a new plant when conditions are right.

Detailed explanation-3: -The germ is the plant embryo which would form the new plant if germinated and is characterized by a high lipid and protein content.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plumule is the part of a plant embryo formed at the time of germination. It is the shoot of a baby plant and develops into the shoot system in adult plants. It consists of the stem apex and first leaves. So, the correct answer is ‘Plumule’
