Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What emerges from the seed and pushes into the soil?
A
embryo
B
endosperm
C
cotyledons
D
radicle
Explanation: 

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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The radicle is the first part of a seedling (a growing plant embryo) to emerge from the seed during the process of germination. The radicle is the embryonic root of the plant, and grows downward in the soil (the shoot emerges from the plumule).

Detailed explanation-3: -The plumule is the baby shoot. It grows after the radicle. In 1880 Charles Darwin published a book about plants he had studied, The Power of Movement in Plants, where he mentions the radicle.

Detailed explanation-4: -germination, the sprouting of a seed, spore, or other reproductive body, usually after a period of dormancy. The absorption of water, the passage of time, chilling, warming, oxygen availability, and light exposure may all operate in initiating the process. cotyledons and germination.

Detailed explanation-5: -When a seed is exposed to the proper conditions, water and oxygen are taken in through the seed coat. The embryo’s cells start to enlarge. Then, the seed coat breaks open and the root emerges first, followed by the shoot that contains the leaves and stem. Sunlight supports the germination process by warming the soil.
