Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cotyledons are embryonic leaves that are present in the seed and emerge as the shoot when the seed germinates. They serve as a source of nutrition for the developing seedling until it can photosynthesize on its own. The root emerges from the seed separately from the shoot. Therefore, option A is incorrect. Endosperms are another source of nutrition for the developing seedling in some plants, but they do not give rise to the shoot or root. Meristems are regions of actively dividing cells in plants that allow for growth and development, but they are not present in the seed itself. Therefore, options C and E are incorrect, and option D refers to the root, not the shoot.
