Question

Which part of a seed develops into the root system of a new plant?

Mr. NARESH KUMAR K · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: D
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
 **Primary Concept**: Plant embryology and seed germination
 **Related Topics**: Seed structure, plant development, root system
 **Prerequisites**: Basic knowledge of plant anatomy and the process of seed germination.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
  The question asks about the part of a seed that develops into the root system.
  The options are Plumule, Cotyledon, Endosperm, and Radicle.
**Method & Steps**:
 1. Identify the parts of a seed and their functions.
  Reasoning: A seed contains an embryo, which has a radicle (embryonic root) and a plumule (embryonic shoot). The cotyledons are seed leaves, and the endosperm provides nourishment.
  Formula/Rule: N/A
 2. Determine which part develops into the root system.
  Working: The radicle is the embryonic root, and during germination, it elongates and develops into the root system of the new plant.
  Key Point: The plumule develops into the shoot system (stem and leaves).
 3. Select the correct option.
  Result: The correct answer is Radicle (option D).
  Verification: The radicle's function aligns with the question's description of developing into the root system.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
A :x: Plumule develops into the shoot system (stem and leaves), not the root system.
B :x: Cotyledons are seed leaves that provide nourishment to the developing embryo, not the root system.
C :x: The endosperm provides nourishment to the developing embryo; it does not develop into the root system.
D ✓: The radicle is the embryonic root and directly develops into the root system of the new plant.
 ## LEARNING AIDS
 **Common Mistakes**:
  1.Confusing the radicle with the plumule: Remembering that the radicle is the embryonic root and the plumule is the embryonic shoot can help avoid this mistake.
  2.Ignoring the function of each part: Understanding the role of each seed part (radicle, plumule, cotyledons, endosperm) is crucial for selecting the correct answer.
 **Quick Tips**:
  1.Use mnemonics:  'Radicle' sounds like 'radical' – it's the radical part that goes down into the soil.
  2.Visualize seed germination:  Imagine the seed sprouting and a root growing downwards – that's the radicle.
