Question: 99. Identify the part of the seed from the given figure which is destined to form root when the seed germinates.
(1) A
(2) B
(3) C
(4) D
Answer: Option (3)
Explanation:
The given figure represents the structure of a seed showing different parts of the embryo.
During germination, the embryonic root develops from a part called the radicle.
The radicle is the lower pointed part of the embryo and is the first structure to emerge during seed germination.
It grows downward into the soil and forms the primary root of the plant.
In the given figure, the part labeled C represents the radicle.
Hence, the part destined to form the root is C.
