Chapter 36, Problem 5TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The fertilization in flowering plants forms an embryo. This embryo comprises five major components, which are cotyledons, plumule, radicle, epicotyl, and hypocotyl. These components are important for the beginning stages of the plant. This is because these structures are involved in forming the shoot, root, and other important parts of the plant.
