Question

Differentiate between coleoptile and coleorrhiza.

Expert Solution
Step 1
The key difference between coleoptile and coleorhiza is that coleoptile is pointed protective sheath that covers the emerging shoot in monocots while coleorhiza is the sheath-like structure that binds the coleoptile to the primary base, covering the radicle in monocots.
