Structure of Monocot Seed
Asked by Deepika Patel · 1 year ago
What are the main parts of a monocotyledonous seed?
1 Answer
A monocotyledonous seed typically consists of three main parts:
1. Seed coat: The outer protective layer
2. Endosperm: The food storage tissue
3. Embryo: Contains a single cotyledon, plumule (shoot tip), and radicle (root tip)
The single cotyledon in monocot seeds is usually large and absorbs nutrients from the endosperm during germination.
