Question

Occurs when the radicle of the seed becomes the root, and the hypocotyl becomes the stem and the leaves

Answer 1

Monocots, such as corn (right), have one cotyledon, called the scutellum; it channels nutrition to the growing embryo. Both monocot and dicot embryos have a plumule that forms the leaves, a hypocotyl that forms the stem, and a radicle that forms the root.
