Question:

The given figure shows L.S of the seed of maize. What do A, B, C and D represent?

A: Scutellum, B: Pericarp, C: Plumule, D: Coleorrhiza

A: Endosperm, B: Scutellum, C: Radicle, D: Coleorrhiza

A: Endosperm, B: Scutellum, C: Plumule, D: Coleoptile

A: Scutellum, B: Pericarp, C: Radicle, D: Coleoptile

Solution:

The endosperm is a tissue produced inside the seeds of most flowering plants around the time of fertilization. Scutellum absorbs degraded material during germination from the endosperm and transfers it to the growing axis. Radicle is the embryonic root of the plant. Coleorrhiza is a sheath that protects the root.
