Question: During germination radical and plumule develop from:
Options:
Embryo
Endosperm
Hilum
Seed coat
• Explanation:

📌 Other Options Explanations:
-Option B: Endosperm: The endosperm is the tissue within the seed that provides nourishment to the developing embryo. While crucial for germination,
-Option C: Hilum: The hilum is the scar on the seed coat where it was attached to the ovary wall.
-Option D: Seed coat: The seed coat is the protective outer layer of the seed. It helps in protecting the embryo and regulating the germination process
